Devolving Power in England: Submission by MCF to the Public Accounts Committee

Devolving Power in England explores how devolution can better support local communities through fairer funding, stronger accountability and meaningful partnerships with civil society.

The report highlights the financial pressures facing local authorities and argues that charities, grassroots organisations and community groups must have a greater role in shaping local decisions and delivering public services. Drawing on real life examples, it demonstrates how locally rooted organisations can help tackle inequality, improve access to services and build stronger, more resilient communities.
