Definition of a Voluntary and Community Organisation
For the purposes of determining the membership of Voluntary Sector North West a voluntary or community organisation is a body which, in the judgement of Voluntary Sector North West:
- a spirit of altruism, and
- a dedication to purposes which are worthy of public support
- is free of any characteristics which are essentially alien to charity:
- i.e.the possibility of self-interest or private benefit, such as the prospect of making a personal profit or the fact that the purposes in question are political, doctrinaire, or dependent on taking a particular view.
