The Kindle Partnership — which incorporates Action with Communities in Rural England, Bassac, Children England, Community Matters, National Association for Voluntary and Community Action, and the National Council for Voluntary Youth Services — has published the guide because it says community groups are often reluctant to get involved in commissioning because they lack information about the process and the risks involved.
