A great report that we were pleased to contribute to. It is fundamentally important to build strong partnerships with LAs so that commissioning is based on collaboration, bravery and lived experience. These commissioning decisions shape people's lives.

Our CEO has signed this @NCVO @ACEVO open letter to the chancellor on the impact of increased employer National Insurance contributions for charities: "Many of us already subsidise the shortfall in our government contracts using fundraising or cash reserves."
31 Oct 2024
Our estimates show planned increases to employer national insurance contributions will cost the charity sector £1.4bn a year. Many charities will be forced to make difficult decisions to shoulder this heavy burden. Together with @ACEVO, we’re calling on @hmtreasury to take urgent action. Add your voice by co-signing the letter today. 🖊️ ncvo.org.uk/news-and-insight… #Budget2024
