The Wheel's Budget 2011 Response

The Irish community and voluntary sector is clearly facing an unprecedented challenge to its ability to continue delivering the services and supports that so many people across the country rely on. What is clear is that there are no certainties about the direction in which we are all headed.

The Wheel will be monitoring developments closely over the coming days and will be keeping the sector informed of developments as we move inexorably through this crisis. 

Below you will find a number of different information sections that we will be updating continuously throughout the coming days and weeks.
