Member news

Earlier this year, we launched our Allyship Programme – giving members the chance to explore equity, equality, diversity and inclusion through networking, training and online resources. NAVCA members volunteer to take part, and we support participants to feel equipped to take what they learn back into their organisations and communities.

Access Insurance (Chartered Insurance Brokers to the third sector) have created a guide for NAVCA members on contractual liability. It’s designed to help senior decision-makers spot contract clauses that could leave charities with costs their insurance won’t cover.

In early 2024, NAVCA partnered with Cadent Gas to deliver the Centres for Warmth Fund – building on the existing network of warm spaces and community hubs across the country. Working through NAVCA members, the programme has invested in trusted local organisations to increase capacity, strengthen resilience, and connect communities with vital advice and resources.

Volunteering is at the heart of what local infrastructure organisations do. Every community is different, and NAVCA members work closely with them to meet local needs. Many local infrastructure organisations run their own volunteering platforms, connecting people with opportunities that work for them and helping charities and community groups reach a local audience.

We’re delighted to share that NAVCA will be working in partnership with Clinks, the national infrastructure charity supporting voluntary organisations working with people in the criminal justice system and their families.

We’re really pleased to share an exciting opportunity to join NAVCA as a Trustee. Find out more here.
