Anne Fry from VONNE (Voluntary Organisations’ Network North East) sets out the case for a Community Wealth Fund, and urges charities to join the coalition campaigning for it in an op-ed for Civil Society UK.
The type of funding envisaged would provide the support that is urgently needed to redress the imbalances in the North East and across the country. Now is the time to push for the fund to become a reality, so that neighbourhoods across the country can thrive.
