Compact Voice represents the voluntary and community sector in England on taking the Compact forward. We also support Local Compact Voice in helping to make more effective use of Local Compacts with local public bodies.
Together we work directly with Government and the Commission for the Compact to improve the relationship between our sector, government and local public bodies for mutual advantage and community gain.
"Its Our Shout" - is the theme of the campaign running before, on and after 4th July for voluntary organisations to take responsibility for upholding their independence because it is draining away. All trustee boards of voluntary organisations are being asked to sign a pledge to "Give voice to the needs of communities and those we represent, campaign fearlessly and responsibly for our causes, and uphold our independence by using our Compact, resisting external interference, and being mission focused."
