POLICY DAY

This year Policy Day will be held on Wednesday 16th June 2021 and will be led by NCVO.

Small charities are the centre of Civil Society. In the UK 97% of charities have an annual turnover of less than £1 million, but in terms of impact on local communities here and across the globe their contribution is phenomenal. It’s therefore important that the voices of small charities are heard about in the noise created by larger and better-resourced charities. To mark Policy Day 2021, events will be held to raise the profile of these organisations with policymakers and influencers.

How you can take part:

 

Small charity Policy Day webinar 101: How to influence local elected officials
