Volunteer Work
The National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO)
The National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO) is the umbrella body for the voluntary sector in England, with sister councils in:
- Northern Ireland - Northern Ireland Council for Voluntary Action (NICVA)
- Scotland - Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations (SCVO)
- Wales - Wales Council for Voluntary Action (WCVA)
NCVO is a highly effective lobbying organisation and represents the views of its members and the wider voluntary sector to government, the Charity Commission , the EU and other bodies. It is also at the leading edge of research into, and analysis of, the voluntary sector - its work in this area carries considerable weight with policy makers. NCVO's role is to represent the voluntary sector and serve its diverse membership - and to provide a collective voice.
NCVO also provides high quality information and advice to voluntary organisations, through its HelpDesk, publications, voluntarysector magazine, events, and information networks. To help voluntary organisations make the best use of limited funds, NCVO also offers a range of money-saving deals on key services of use to charities or voluntary groups.
