Impact, Insight, Innovation: The Comprehensive Spending Review one year on

Making efficiencies and savings is not a new concept. This time, though, the decisions are more difficult and in many cases more far-reaching.

This report was originally intended to be solely a review of organisations’ opinions about the impact of the October 2010 Comprehensive Spending Review. As our research has progressed, it has become an exploration of the passion and enthusiasm that many people and organisations have for public service and for community. We have also considered the actions they are taking to protect frontline services, whether provided by the public sector, or by an organisation in the third or voluntary sector.

In some respects, a report on a topic as complex as the impact of the CSR will always pose more questions than it can provide answers. But it is no time to be timid. The best organisations are those that come up with brave and innovative solutions.

We hope you will find the results and ideas within this report thought-provoking.
