NAVCA is part of a national working group of policy leads who have joined together to influence the forthcoming Autumn Budget, and bring about a change in the way in which Government funds the VCSE sector. 

The working group, which is led by the Charity Finance Group consists of a range of “key player organisations” which together have drafted a pre-budget letter to government, outlining a joint ask that the objectives of the Civil Society Strategy are tied into the Autumn Statement, particularly around opportunities to use dormant assets and the Shared Prosperity Fund to better support the VCSE sector.

The Working Group will also be reconvening in the next few weeks to develop a joint position for the VCSE sector on the forthcoming Comprehensive Review of Local Government Spending; which will have wide reaching impacts for local infrastructure organisations. As part of this work, we'll be pushing to meet with representatives from various sections of Government, and with the Local Government Association.
