Chief executives body will provide advice on how to minimise the impact of spending cuts.

Sector chief executives body Acevo has launched a website designed to monitor public sector cuts to third sector organisations.

Cuts Watch provides information about cuts and sets out action that voluntary sector leaders can take as funders’ budgets are reduced.

The website also has information on how organisations can negotiate with funders, challenge poor funding decisions and demonstrate their impact.

An Acevo spokeswoman said third sector leaders were increasingly worried about how the cuts in public spending would affect them and the people they supported.

The spokeswoman said that the site would be providing particular information about mergers and collaboration.

There would also be a section where members could share examples of how they had demonstrated to the government ways of reforming services rather than making straightforward cuts.
