"Our analysis highlights a sector that understands what good governance looks like but still finds it hard to live it consistently. Many boards have strong intentions, but translating those into culture takes sustained effort." Sally Stephens, NCVO’s lead governance consultant
Many charity boards still struggle to build inclusive and open cultures, despite growing more confident in how they govern, according to new research from @NCVO

Support from the Charity Commission to protect charities from being weaponised for political ends is crucial. Too many charities are facing abuse simply because of who they support. NCVO was proud to sign the @EquallyOurs letter urging the government to act. @ChtyCommission
The Charity Commission will support charities that are protecting staff and volunteers from abuse and dismiss any complaints it receives that aim to weaponise sector organisations, its interim chair has said.

Today's story in @guardian reveals the worrying impact of toxic rhetoric around immigration and marginalised communities. It's leading to threats and abuse targeted at charities. We have signed the @EquallyOurs letter to the Prime Minister urging him to challenge this.

Volunteers are at the heart of charities, yet numbers are at a record low. Volunteering is a great way for people to share their skills with causes they care about. And research shows that it’s not only good for the charity, and the volunteer, but also the employer.
The government has no plans to introduce paid statutory volunteering leave, despite a charity-led campaign to do so
