Campaigning

You might call it influencing, voice, advocacy or campaigning, but essentially all of these activities are about creating change. At NCVO, we're using the word campaigning as shorthand.

Through campaigning, voluntary organisations bring numerous benefits to society, including:

• addressing the root causes of social problems, not just their effects
• promoting community engagement
• contributing to stronger democracy
• helping give a voice to those without one
• securing better services in both the public and private sectors.
