NCVO champions the voluntary sector and volunteering because they’re essential for a better society.
Each day, millions of people make a difference through voluntary organisations and volunteering. Our vision is a society where we can all make a difference to the causes that we believe in.
We have a diverse community of over 12,500 member organisations – a third of the voluntary sector workforce in England. We help them thrive by providing expert support and advice, by saving them time and money, and by keeping them up to date with the news that affects them.
We’re here to help our members make even more of a difference.

Voluntary Sector Legal Information Audit
Grant: £12,950
November 10, 2015
The overall aim of this project is to create a record of the areas and topics where voluntary sector organisations require legal information and to audit where such information currently exists and where the gaps fall. We will cover the full lifecycle of a voluntary organisation from set up, to running the organisation, to winding up.
There is a current lack of coordination of up to date and reliable content in some topic areas as well as a complete absence of material in others. The focus will be on the availability of free legal information.
The long term intention is to use the Voluntary Sector Legal Information Audit to inform the creation of a coordinated online information resource for the sector and our members, in collaboration with other providers. The online resource will provide or signpost voluntary sector organisations to the up to date legal information they need. It will also draw on any partner resources and initiatives, where appropriate. At this stage anticipated partners for the next stage of this project will include BWB LLP, Small Charities Coalition and LawWorks.
