Most government departments won't publish data on sector funding

Most government departments won't publish data on sector funding: Most central government departments will not publish full information about levels of funding to the voluntary sector so it is impossible to track whether they are making disproportionate cuts or adhering to Compact principles, Compact Voice has discovered.

In the summer, Compact Voice sent Freedom of Information requests to 15 central government departments asking them to report levels of funding to the sector, recent changes to this funding, engagement with the sector through consultations and whether they assess the impact on voluntary groups of changes to funding.
