The National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO) and Association of Chief Executives of Voluntary Organisations (ACEVO) are working with the UK Government’s Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) to develop a framework for The Civil Society Covenant. It aims to reset how government engages with civil society and create lasting positive changes for charities, community groups, and social enterprises.
The Covenant is designed to:
- support collaboration between civil society organisations and government
- ensure respect for the different roles we play, and protect our independence
- support all public bodies and civil society organisations
- build on and support existing agreements in place at a local level
- complement other arrangements in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
NCVO is hosting some online workshops, and there is also an online feedback form so that voluntary sector organisations can take part in shaping the covenant.
For more details and to sign up for a workshop and/or fill in the feedback form please click here.
All workshops are scheduled for Tuesday 3 December 2024.
