The Road Ahead - An NCVO Review

20 Feb 2017 - 16:06 by helen.walker

The Road Ahead - A review of the voluntary sector's operating environment is the latest NCVO analysis of the challenges and opportunities for the voluntary sector. It shows that there continued to be a rising demand for services but at the same time, reducing resources from local and central government. NCVO also predict that this will continue to present a challenge together with other issues such as the potential impact of the Brexit vote on the economy and household income.

The full impact of the UK leaving the European Union is unclear at this stage and it is important that voluntary sector organisations keep up to date with developments. Other issues mentioned in the review include the changing regulatory framework that charities operate within, the increasing use of technology and the public's perception of charities. 

Although there are challenges, NCVO also emphasise the power of the voluntary sector in supporting people and communities, and also being able to respond to changes across society. We have a unique role to play in connecting people and working together across sectors to build a better society. 

These issues will be amongst those discussed at 'Future Trends', the next Voluntary Sector Assembly to be held on Tuesday 28 February.
