Strengthening Partnerships: Next steps for Compact

Strong and active voluntary and community groups make a vital contribution to our quality of life; reinvigorating civic life and addressing deep-rooted social needs, disadvantage and exclusion.

The consultation 'Compact on Relations between Government and the Voluntary and Community Sector', sets out a series of undertakings to which the Government and the voluntary and community sector both agree. These include Government respecting the independence of the sector and consulting early on policies which affect the sector. In return, the sector undertakes to operate through open and accountable organisations, involve all stakeholders and embrace diversity.  Please read the document below, and send us your views.
