NAVCA's phlog
NAVCA is the national voice of local third sector infrastructure in England. We aim to ensure communities are well served by the local third sector by supporting our members and their work with over 160,000 local groups and organisations. NAVCA believes that local voluntary and community action is vital for healthy and inclusive communities.
In this podcast Vandna Gohil tells Bill Freeman, Director of Development at NAVCA about the major challenges facing local BME voluntary organisations and community groups. Vandna talks about the impact of recession on BME groups, why the Single Equalities Bill could dilute the advances made by the Race Relations Amendment Act and why she believes the new Compact weakens the position of BME community groups. Vandna also tells us about the major successes Voice4Change has had since they were founded two and a half years and her hopes for 2010.
