Join Voice4Change England in building a thriving BME Third Sector

V4CE now looks to enhance its advocacy and welcomes the support of individuals and organisations – BME or non-BME, Third Sector or non-Third Sector – in building a thriving BME Third Sector that is better placed to deliver improved outcomes for all in our diverse civil society. To assist with this, the Voice4Change England Subscribers scheme has been created to allow individuals, institutions, networks, forums, alliances, partnerships, social enterprises, voluntary and community organisations, registered charities and statutory bodies to join as supporters and strengthen V4CE’s role as a policy advocate for the BME Third Sector.

There are three subscriptions on offer -
Full Subscriber
Associate Subscriber
Friend

We aim to provide excellent value to Subscribers and our fees are set so as not to deter individuals and organisations from supporting the work of V4CE.
