recomends

that voluntary organisations can – and should – return to their roots by:

• focusing their attention on the needs and aspirations of their users or beneficiaries rather than what government wants;
• remembering how they used to do things before they were overtaken by an excess of managerialism; and
• rebuilding their relationships with other voluntary organisations on the basis of mutual support and shared learning rather than competition.
