VODG’s new report says, “No” to “slash and burn” and “Yes” to a radical rethink of services – Gain without Pain
The financial crisis has made it imperative to find new ways of working. We say “No” to “slash and burn” and “Yes” to a radical rethink of services, so that we meet the needs of the people who use services more effectively and often at less cost.
Big cuts in public spending make it all the more necessary to find new ways of working and we need the public sector to work with us, not against us. We want to work with councils to transform services for disabled people.

Shaping lives, supporting excellence
The VODG is the leading umbrella group of voluntary sector providers of social care services for adults with disabilities. Our members’ shared aim is to ensure that people with disabilities are supported in ways that they themselves define.
Our role is to shape the development of social care policy, to influence its implementation and to provide sector leading information and research.
Effective partnerships, beneficial outcomes
VODG members deliver more than a billion pounds worth of services each year and believe that meaningful engagement and fair negotiation between commissioners and providers - focused on the needs of people who rely on social care services - helps build strategic relationships, enhances service design and is more likely to ensure that beneficial outcomes are achieved.
