At the launch of London Voluntary Service Council's Big Squeeze report in July 2009 London's Mayor Boris Johnson highlighted the valuable work charities undertake in a recession .

"Now, more than ever, is when community and voluntary groups come into their own by helping Londoners through the downturn. Whether guiding them towards work opportunities, or offering financial advice, they have a crucial role to play and I will continue to work closely with the sector to help with their valuable work, wherever I can."
