BME Third Sector new voice backs Navca’s Sustaining Grants
Voice4Change England has formally endorsed Navca’s Sustaining Grants pamphlet and is encouraging BME groups to come forward with case studies of local voluntary action supported by local grants to evidence the importance of them.
Voice4Change England Director Vandna Gohil comments: “We firmly support NAVCA in its’ call for the recognition of grant funding as the most important means of supporting and sustaining voluntary civic action. BME voluntary and community organisations also need to back the Sustaining Grants position and contribute their own case studies in the defence of existing grant funding arrangements.”
