Charities and voluntary organisations are raising serious concerns about government proposals to link volunteering to asylum settlement.
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.
Last week, we brought together (almost all) members of the new Civil Society Covenant Council for an informal meet-and-greet, ahead of our first formal meeting at No.10 Downing Street next month.
Following recent changes within NCVO, this letter from CEO Kate Lee, sets out plans for the future and our continued commitment to supporting small charities.
