ChangeUp Reading is looking ahead to the future priorities and themes that the voluntary sector will need support to respond to. Examples of these trends are clear to see, such as the move to commissioning and procurement, delivery of public services, developing services at neighbourhood level and increasing the capacity of the sector’s governance and leadership. ChangeUp Reading values your views.
