Following the riots in the UK this week, many people in the voluntary and community sector are asking where we go from here. If you feel the need of thoughtful questions, messages of solidarity and some analysis of how we are thinking and talking about the riots, see the discussion ‘Wasn’t it inevitable’ on the National Community Activists Network. For a view from the street and the voice of young people, there are some great posts on the In Defence of Youth Work blog.

Let us know if you have comments or questions, or want to share your insights into what the riots mean for independent voluntary action.
