This page

The number of groups that seek to support particular functions or issues within voluntary organisations has been growing slowly. Co-operation has also generally improved. While many of those listed operate on a membership or subscription basis, some useful info may also be available to non-members.

This page covers General bodies (including infrastructure support), the national sector support workstreams and Managerial support and development.

This is a listings style page, with Information Sources grouping.



National Sector Support

From April 2008, see information on the nine National Sector Support workstreams at Improving Support. Established by Capacitybuilders, the body charged with managing the government's ChangeUp funding to improve the capacity of the sector.

To March 2008, six national 'Hubs of Expertise' for the sector in England were funded by Capacitybuilders under the government's ChangeUp programme. We'll gradually remove the links here as they become obsolete, but material produced may still be available elsewhere - in particular the Improving Support website.

There are regional/local initiatives reflecting these, too, which are probably best found via the Regional sector bodies.
