Ealing and Acton voluntary groups

One of the concerns across the charitable and voluntary sector is that they may lose a number of work projects as local authorities prune some of their spending on organisations outside the Town Hall. Following on from a meeting Angie organised with Cabinet Office Minister, Nick Hurd, late last year, she has had a number of meetings with Ealing and Acton groups to discuss their best way forward. Most recently, she arranged a meeting for them with Ealing Borough Chief Executive, Martin Smith, at which they were able to discuss how they can continue to bid to run a number of local projects.

Angie said afterwards, "This was a really important meeting and in my view it went really well. Martin Smith has suggested that they all consider what kinds of service they can provide locally that also fit in with Council plans and they were all pleased and reassured that he has promised the door remains open to them."
