This review is important to Leicester City Council because the VCS is a key partner and provider of a range of services in the city. A significant number of these services are commissioned by the City Council. Increasingly there have been clear indications of the challenges facing the sector, resulting in the dissolution of some VCS organisations, with others flagging up concerns about financial sustainability. The City Council recognises the need for a flexible and dynamic approach to supporting the sector so that it can adapt and change appropriately in order to maximise future opportunities for funding, thereby contributing to the sustainability of the city’s VCS and the services it provides.
