The National Council for Voluntary Organisations is the largest representative body for voluntary organisations and volunteering in England, with over 14,000 members. NCVO champions voluntary action: our vision is a society where we can all make a difference to the causes that we believe in. Volunteering and a vibrant voluntary sector deserve a strong voice and the best support. NCVO works to provide that support and voice.
NCVO has worked closely with charities over the course of Brexit negotiations, to ensure that issues of importance across the sector are reflected to government, and those discussions inform this briefing.
