Third Sector - Recession and Resilience
Understanding the
impact of the recession on the third sector in the Highlands and Islands
Enterprise area:a pilot study.
by Philomena de
Lima and Tim Braunholtz-Speight
Summary
CRRS interviewed
16 “third sector” organisations active in the Helmsdale area, to add to
current understanding of how the recession is impacting on the area.
Key findings
include:
Helmsdale is
served by a well integrated network of third sector organisations,
providing a wide range of valued services. However, there is not, at
present, a community trust or company;
Potential cuts in
funding – both public and from private foundations – are the main medium
term impacts of the recession that these organizations are likely to
experience. Social enterprises reported mixed fortunes, depending on
their position in the economy. On the other hand, local donations
appeared generally stable;
Some organisations
saw cuts in staff and services as inevitable; However, others saw
opportunities and were experiencing increased demand for services.
