Abstract
Performance measurement is increasingly important for UK third sector organisations (TSOs) driven in part by policy makers’ interest in harnessing them as deliverers of public services. This paper examines a developing and little researched constituency of TSOs - community composters - which has become attractive to policy makers facing obligations to reduce, recycle and re-use waste. The research, which included the first extensive survey of this constituency combined with a purposive case study investigation, found a highly diverse set of organisations. The analysis proposes five types of community composters and explores the challenges to developing a standardized measurement regime.
