Stronger infrastructure

Evidence shows that the voluntary and community sector's capacity to engage with local public bodies is directly related to the quality and level of resources available for local infrastructure.

It is no coincidence that local authority areas that have the most thriving third sector also have strong local support organisations. This demonstrates the clear link between investment in local infrastructure and strong support for a healthy local third sector. It also shows why local authorities and other public bodies should provide sustainable funding in return for quality infrastructure.

NAVCA commits to helping members rationalise infrastructure services so that local voluntary action gets the best possible support. We will provide practical assistance to help local infrastructure organisations demonstrate effectiveness and value for money.
