How sustainable is your organisation?
What does it mean to be sustainable, and how can voluntary and community organisations ensure that they are run in a sustainable way?
The VCS Environment Strategy Group has produced a document to help groups get started in thinking about how to be more sustainable, and what steps they need to take.
You can view the document here.
