Services for support agencies

NCVO provides a range of services for those supporting voluntary and community organisations to achieve more.

Value of Infrastructure Programme

This three year programme will help English infrastructure organisations to have more of an impact and to better communicate their achievements to others. The Value of Infrastructure Programme includes awareness raising and training for infrastructure staff and trustees, new online tools for infrastructure to track and compare progress and research into how best to support frontline organisations.

The programme will build on the PERFORM framework, an existing outcomes approach for infrastructure organisations. The framework helps you plan, assess and review the infrastructure support you offer.

Beyond Survival: the BME strategy programme

We are working with brap to deliver a two-year training and development programme to help infrastructure organisations provide effective, tailored support on strategic planning to black and minority ethnic organisations.  Find out more about the Beyond Survival programme.

Measuring Social Value: free articles

Help your network members to learn about the importance of capturing and demonstrating their social value, and to look at one particular technique, Social Return on Investment. The Measuring Social Value project is offering you the chance to commission a free article for your newsletter.
