Cuts to Southampton Voluntary Groups
1st March 2011
Alan Whitehead MP has pressed the government to come clean about the real impact of their savage cuts to the voluntary sector funding in Southampton.
In a question to Communities and Local Government Minister Greg Clark, Dr Whitehead said:
Next year, my local authority is cutting more than 20% of its running grants for voluntary and community organisations, which means that organisations such as the Citizens Advice Bureau, the Council for Voluntary Service and advice services generally will find it almost impossible to continue to support the volunteers they have supported over the past year.
Does the Minister think that authorities such as Southampton will rue the day they did that, or is he rueing the day that he enabled his Department to acquiesce so readily in the cuts to local government funding that he has endorsed?
Speaking after the DCLG debate, Dr Whitehead said:
“Southampton is lucky to have a vibrant voluntary sector that works incredibly hard to make our city a better place. Often they only receive a small amount of funding from the Council, but that funding can be critical in their ability to function. To talk about volunteering and the ‘Big Society’ while slashing support for these organisations is the very definition of destructive hypocrisy.”
Last month Dr Whitehead wrote to the City Council asking for a full breakdown of voluntary organisations under threat because of this reduction in funding. The full list is attached at the bottom of this release. The confirmed services hit so far include:
- One Community – Help in the Home Service
- City Centre Catholic Care
- Choices Advocacy
- Mayfield Nursery
- Two Saints - Day Centre
- MIND Companion Service
- St James – Home Support service
- Options – Alcohol counselling
- St James Substance Misuse Support Service
There will be further cuts to the overall grant pot available for other community groups, although the specific groups that will lose out as a result has yet to be confirmed. A full list of organisations currently receiving funding is below.
This year Southampton has received its worst funding settlement ever in its history as a unitary authority. The Tories have cut over 10% from Southampton’s overall grant. Their own figures show Southampton has suffered a cut in spending power 4 times as bad as was given to neighbouring Hampshire.
More information
There are three main areas where Southampton City Council’s funding for voluntary organisations is being cut. These are:
- Local Services and Community Safety: Grants to Voluntary Organisations (budget item LSCS 12)
- Local Services & Community Safety: Communities Team (budget item LSCS 11)
- Adult Health & Social Care (budget item ASCH 12)
Clicking on the links above will you take you to the voluntary organisations under threat in each area. A full list of voluntary organisations that will be hit by funding cuts from the City Council is below and can be downloaded as a word document here. This information was collated by Southampton City Council Officers in response to a written question by Dr Whitehead.
Adult Health & Social Care (budget item ASCH 12)
One Community – Help in the Home Service
Money to be withdrawn in full
This service provides a non-personal care service to frail older people, who do not meet the criteria for care managed services. The service is currently given to 334 households, of which approximately 47 residents are subsidised.
City Centre Catholic Care
Money to be reduced to £9,000 for 2011/12
This service helps to maintain people in their own homes without them needing care managed services; it is supplemented by some parish funds. It assists approximately 100 people at any one time.
Hampshire Advocacy Regional Group
Money to be reduced to £29,000 for 2011/12, with proposals to continue funding in the longer term
This provides Advocacy services to older people, and represents frail residents in many aspects of their lives; this includes hospital discharges, accommodation moves, care services.
Choices Advocacy
Looking to secure funding for 2011/12 and beyond
This is stable funding so that the organisation can develop and act as a funding finder for advocacy services for the city. It continues to fund the independent advocacy support for the people who were relocated from Tatchbury Mount hospital in 1994. It contributes to the salary of the Chief Officer and the basic running costs of the organisation.
Mayfield Nursery
This service will continue for a further year as the majority of service users who access it meet the eligibility for Personal Budgets. It has been identified that more time is needed for SCC and Solent Mind systems to develop to enable people to use this route.
Two Saints - Day Centre
To end the current funding of £214,000 from this source
The Day Centre is a contact point for homeless and formerly homeless individuals. It has several thousand contacts (though a significantly smaller individual base) each year. The Council is hopeful that agreement will be reached to provide a similar service on significantly reduced funding (from more appropriate funding pots), with a view to a longer term decision being made next year.
MIND Companion Service
To reduce funding by £40,300 (from Mental Health budget only)
This funding is one part of a significantly larger service, supporting mainly older people with a mental health diagnosis in the community.
St James – Home Support service
Provides a residential service for 7 people who have high health and social care need. Individual need will be met subject to eligibility criteria being met and under these circumstances costs will be picked up by Community Care budgets.
Options – Alcohol counselling
Discussion on future funding of this service is ongoing but it is likely that it will continue, and will be picked up as part of the transfer of NHS responsibilities and funding to LA’s.
St James Substance Misuse Support Service
Activity has already been picked up within the Supporting People contract as part of the recent tender which was able to obtain better value.
Mind Directors Salary
2 x £15,000. Funding to be withdrawn in full
This contributes to the core costs of Solent Mind.
ROCC – £5,000 to be withdrawn in full
The agency provides training and consultancy.
MISG – Social Clubs Development
MH User groups
Age Concern Southampton – Core Funding
MISG – Primary Care
Active Options – service provided by SCC Leisure, not voluntary sector.
Grants to voluntary organisations (budget item LSCS 12)
There will be a 20% reduction in grants to voluntary organisations as a result of this budget- a £450,000 cut.
