@MichaelMaggs: Can the wording of this page be made a bit more balanced? The idea is good on the face of it, but to establish that it's worth moving totally to that model, we need a balanced consideration of relative advantages and disadvantages.
The main change that is taking place in moving to project-based working appears to be that something is going to be forbidden: charitable support will only go to activities that are part of a project. So there will be a decrease in flexibility and responsiveness to unanticipated needs, and there will be less scope for staff to make decisions about what benefits the charity. That does not mean that it is a bad step on the whole, but the disadvantages need to be stated clearly so that we can address whether the benefits of this way of working are worth it.
