Welcome

- Spread good practice, encourage joint working, and discourage duplication of effort
- Help groups to find funding and make effective use of resources
- Encourage local people to make changes in their local community by getting involved in voluntary and community action
- Promote equality and diversity by fostering a wider understanding of the needs of disadvantaged and under-represented groups
- Help public bodies to engage effectively with local voluntary organisations and community groups
- Ensure policy makers understand the needs of local voluntary organisations and community groups
