Since 2004, Futurebuilders England has been supporting the thirdsector.
We encourage commissioners to involve third sector organisations in theplanning and delivery of high-quality services and promote the benefitsof long-term contracts. But we also appreciate the challenges, so weoffer additional support - such as courses in winning contracts and fullcost recovery - to help organisations overcome some of the barriersinvolved in contracting with public sector bodies.
We believe charities have a vital role to play in improving publicservices - a diverse and sustainable income base, combined with timelycapacity building support, will enable them to do so.
