Even tougher times for community and voluntary groups
“How would you feel if your local authority said that they were reducing the number of community and voluntary organisations that they would deal with? It may be because their funding is stretched, or maybe because they need to tighten up on their procurement or commissioning practices.

“Are you finding that grant sources are drying up? Are you having to jump through hoops to access even modest sums? Worried that projects won’t be continuing beyond the end of the financial year and that staff contracts cannot be renewed?”

The Capability Question
“What if there was a way to stand out from other groups? What if there was a way to demonstrate to local authorities and funders that you are a well managed and competent organisation without all those hoops?”

The ILCM is the solution
“That’s why you need the ILCM. It’s designed from the ground up so that your organisation can gain recognition it deserves, and provides a pathway for developing your committee, volunteers and staff. By becoming ILCM accredited your organisation can stand out from the crowd and attract the attention of commissioning and funding bodies, local authorities and partners.”
