NCVO Policy Review
NCVO works with its members to develop positions on current issues affecting the sector, and responds to policy initiatives from external bodies.
We want decision-makers to understand the consequences their decisions have on the voluntary and community sector. But we can't do this in a vacuum: we need to ensure that our policy areas match what's most important to you and that we're fighting for the changes you and your beneficiaries really need.
Find out how you can get involved with our policy review.
