Civil Society and Government have come together today for the Delivering Change Together summit, launching the new covenant to build a new, stronger and fairer relationship. @NCVO has played a leading role in its development, engaging with hundreds of voluntary organisations.

Charities are the country's safety net – supporting people and places the state can’t reach. In 2023, they spent nearly £96bn doing just that. But 2 in 5 spent more than they brought in. We can’t keep asking more of charities without protecting the foundations they stand on.
