NCVO Lobbies Labour

The Labour Government should recognise the broader value that voluntary organisations bring to society, the National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO) told party policy makers and parliamentary candidates at the Labour Party Conference. Speaking at the NCVO’s main fringe event, 'What role for charities after the next election?' Stuart Etherington, Chief Executive, said: 'The next government needs to have a much broader agenda for charities and voluntary organisations, which embraces voluntary action as a means of providing support for the most marginalized individuals and communities'. The proposal is one of several from the NCVO’s draft Election Manifesto. Further details of the Manifesto will be previewed at all three party conferences. It will then be put out to consultation by the sector, with the official launch scheduled to take place at the NCVO Annual Conference in February 2005.
