The Voluntary Sector Manifesto is here! Created by the sector, for the sector, this manifesto is a chance to get your voice heard in the lead up to the #GeneralElection.

📊 Our latest #UKPoverty report launched this morning.
🔍 14.4 million people were living in poverty in 2021/22 – and our analysis shows that millions of people would need thousands of pounds just to escape poverty.

@JaneIdeCEO talks about the uniqueness of the sector, and the expertise it brings to the table.
ALT Our sector is equal but different to other sectors, depth of experience and knowledge that comes from within communities. Invest in that relationship with the sector. See civil society as a trusted partner.
At @ProBonoEcon Civil Society & Labour Summit @JaneIdeCEO for @ACEVO has 3 key asks:
- invest in the relationship;
- see us an expert partner , “we’re not the emergency plumber”
- protect the value of campaigning

Resignation en masse of Sutton PCF due to breakdown of rel’ship with the LA is a sorry state; loss of peer support for carers; loss of independent voice for #SEND families to Ofsted & CQC; loss of valuable lived experience needed for coproduction. Worse outcomes for all…
Another PCF resigning because they can no longer work with their council (@SuttonCouncil). It’s a real shame that the attitude towards parents seems to getting more and more negative right now through no fault of our own @GillianKeegan @david4wantage @helenhayes_
Those for whom it’s convenient to tout a narrative of this as a class issue should take a look here to see how bad outcomes are for pupils with #SEND of all social backgrounds: assets.publishing.service.go…
As a parent supported by @suttonparents, a trustee & in my day job, I see the compound impact of failures of trust & collaboration as evidence of increasing need and worsening opportunity for those already at disadvantage. This is the opposite of progress.
