Our Campaigns

We work with our members to raise awareness of the challenges facing the sector and the Government policy changes needed for a thriving community, voluntary and charity sector.

We have campaigned on a variety of key areas over the last few years, representing the sector’s challenges and advocating for solutions. We also continually seek to raise awareness of the value of the work of the sector and the broad societal impact it has through campaigns such as We Act.

In particular, we focus on raising public awareness and understanding of the work, impact and societal value which charities, community and voluntary organizations and social enterprises bring to communities all over Ireland, as well as in an international context.

We will be working with other leaders within the sector to progress on this important work and look forward to working with organisations across the entire charity, community and voluntary and social enterprise sector into the future.
