The uneven impact of austerity on the voluntary and community sector
There has been much debate about the impact of recession and austerity on the voluntary and community sector over recent years. Using secondary data from the 2008 National Survey of Third Sector Organisations , Clifford et al. (2013), writing in this journal, have argued that voluntary sector organisations located in more deprived local authorities are likely to suffer most due to the combined effect of cuts in government funding in these areas a…
Recession, Austerity and the ‘Great Risk Shift
A key feature of the rise of neoliberal politics and policy has been the progressive shift of risk from corporations and national states to the local government, individuals and households. In this article, we argue that, in the UK, ‘great risk shift’ has not only been intensified by recession and austerity but has also been marked by the unevenness of the redistribution of risk and insecurity across scales and places, and between different types…

How Would We Know What Works
In 2002 the UK Home Office commissioned a review of research on community involvement in area-based initiatives. This found comparatively few studies that set out to measure the impact rather than the extent and nature of involvement and hence few answers to the question of what works. This article takes that finding as its starting point and sets out to develop a more robust framework for evaluating the impact of community involvement. It notes …
Positive choice, no choice or total rejection
Housing and education are two aspects of social policy which form particularly important dimensions of the current debates around social stability and exclusion in neighbourhoods, particularly for those living within areas of deprivation. Unequal access to quality education is a critical dimension of participation in or exclusion from the knowledge‐based economy, yet in a housing market dominated by home ownership, access to oversubscribed school…
A Risk' or 'At Risk'? Reconceptualising Housing Debt in a Risk Welfare Society
In England, the economic circumstances of housing, employment and social change have served to create problems of housing affordability and sustainability which leave some within the clefts of social divisions. At the same time, the individualisation trend within housing and other areas of social policy is increasingly driven by notions of self-responsibility and risk which can contribute to such divisions. This paper suggests that social policy …
