Signatories to this petition are concerned by the growing speculation that from April 2008, Newham Council intends to withdraw funding from Newham Voluntary Sector Consortium, one of the borough\'s leading second-tier organisations and the umbrella body for third sector involvement in the Newham Partnership. This speculation is fuelled by the emergence of a draft Service Specification that covers most of NVSC

been spending a lot of time talking to local groups about what losing this funding would actually mean for the community. its clear that everyone is really worried about the future of the consortium if these plans go through. im working on getting a meeting set up with the council to make sure they see exactly how many people rely on this support.

i cannot believe how much momentum we have built lately. it is clear that people really care about protecting the consortium and that feeling is giving me a lot of energy to keep pushing.

Without the consortium we are basically on our own. Total shortsighted move by the council.

Absolute disgrace. NVSC is vital for newham. Leave them alone.

This is ridiculous. The groups rely on this support. Stop cutting the stuff that actually helps people.

Just another example of the council making things worse for the people who need help most. Keep the funding.

Keep the funding in our community. These groups do the real work that the council ignores.

My local charity group gets so much help from the Consortium. If they lose funding everything falls apart. Please dont let this happen.
