A key aspect of NAVCA's work is to provide our members with information and support that will enable them to engage effectively with the local public sector. Our approach is founded upon mutual gains: the local public sector gains from a voluntary and community sector better placed to help meet local priorities and the voluntary and community sector is, in turn, able to influence local policy making and demonstrate its value. Nationally we will continue to take every opportunity to press the case for well resourced local infrastructure in our discussions with government and with other key stakeholders.
