About the authors
NAVCA is the national voice of local voluntary and community sector infrastructure in England. Our 360 members work with over 140,000 local community groups and voluntary organisations, helping them to provide services, regenerate neighbourhoods, increase volunteering and tackle discrimination in partnership with local public bodies.
Our purpose is to promote local voluntary and community action nationally. We do this by providing our members with information, advice, networking and
learning opportunities, support and development services. In turn, we draw on our members' experience to influence government and contribute to
national policy. We also work closely with other national bodies to ensure a collaborative approach to policy development.
