Welcome to the latest edition of CT Brief
Nine months into the pandemic, another lockdown, potential vaccines on the horizon, Brexit trade deals still in discussion, and a new US president-elect – quite a lot has happened recently!
This issue presents a multi-sector perspective on key issues affecting organisations in sport, charity, housing, local government and care and support sectors, across the UK. Demonstrating resilience and agility, contributors also explore the recent challenges faced, as well as their short, medium, and long-term plans.
Inside you’ll find features on: sports governance and strategy; financial planning and stress-testing; getting your service charges right; councils joint working on temporary accommodation; the future of health and social care; Welsh housing policy and plans; big changes in Northern Ireland housing; gender inequality; community finance; governance in the pandemic; homelessness; strengthening communities; and much more besides!
We hope you enjoy reading. Keep well.
