I’m horrified by the sad news that
Virginia Giuffre has lost her life to suicide. As a society we are failing to protect victims and survivors of sexual abuse who deserve respect, dignity and protection.

Another front page secured by the NCVO team…

Our members need us to keep telling the government about the devastating impact National Insurance uplifts will have on charities and their ability to deliver services for those who need them most.

Yes - a huge problem. We’ve been telling Gov that unlike businesses we can’t just put our prices up. And many of us are already delivering contracts that haven’t been uplifted in line with inflation

We're here, and we'll keep doing all we can to help, and to keep sharing the impact of this with Government.

To make sure that in the future the views of civil society and the communities we support are heard in every corner of Government - share your views in the covenant consultation.

Not since the pandemic, have so many NCVO members contacted us expressing concerns about the NICs rise.

We heard - and have been doing all we can to raise our combined voice to the Treasury. Today's news won't allay the fears we've heard - there’ll be difficult choices charity leaders must make.
