Ok, so here's a little something to think about...the voluntary sector, particularly advice services, had a pretty rough 12 months throughout 2013, and there's been a lot of damage inflicted. But what does that mean? Do we lie down and accept our fate as a 'dying service', or do we decide to do things differently and find new ways to survive....a kind of 'phoenix from the flames', if you will?
Last week, Tim Smedley wrote an article for The Guardian's Voluntary Sector Network site, suggesting ways in which we can work differently to rejuvenate voluntary services. This struck a chord here, as that's basically what the Advice Alliance is all about - finding new ways of working and delivering services in a changing environment. So have a look - it makes for interesting reading - and then come back here and let us know what you think....what should the Alliance be doing to ensure the future survival of advice in Manchester?
