Voluntary and Community Sector Infrastructure Support Public Consultation launched

This includes agreeing with partners on the outcomes that the Department should prioritise in future years.  This review of sectoral needs will inform how DfC can better support the sector to deliver outcomes set out in any future Programme for Government. 

Future plans

As part of this review, the Department engaged with a wide range of organisations in the sector, to draw together their collective experiences, understand key priorities and needs, listen to ideas and opinions, and add voice and input to help us shape future programmes for whom the refresh will deliver. They have also engaged with other departments, local government, independent funders and established a reference group comprising of a range of sectoral interests. 

The Department is now keen to share what they have learned from the engagement sessions, and seek views on their proposed Infrastructure Support Framework through a public consultation. View the proposed framework and consultation documents.
