VSNW | Voluntary Sector North West

The Office for Civil Society (OCS) in the Cabinet Office is inviting communities in the North West to nominate outstanding local voluntary groups for next year’s Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service, the MBE for volunteer groups.

Richard Caulfield, Chief Executive of VSNW, features in a series of think pieces from NCVO, discussing some of the issues the NHS White Paper raises for infrastructure and social value commissioning.

New report explores whether identity-based voluntary and community groups need identity-based organisational development.

The Office for Civil Society has launched the second wave of the National Survey of Charities and Social Enterprises, giving invited charities, social enterprises and voluntary and community groups in every local authority area an opportunity to have their voices heard.
