NCVO has announced that it is hosting a new initiative called Power & Integrity (PI) – launching today – which aims to enable more coherent, integrated and impactful approaches to organisational integrity in the voluntary sector.
Today sees the launch of The Civil Society Group – an informal collaboration of organisations representing members and groups from across the charity sector and wider civil society.
The board of trustees is committed to NCVO’s equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) and culture change programme.
Charities are increasingly operating in what we call Protection Mode. Read our full report to explore the findings in detail.
The Covenant Council can help drive change, but the covenant will only succeed if the whole sector actively uses it to build stronger relationships between government and civil society.
