Something is not right in the state of the relationship between local government and the voluntary and community sector – yet the importance of a productive collaboration has never been greater, argues chair of NAVCA John Tizard.
While local government and the local voluntary and community sector (VCS) are different, in truth, they have much in common.
One is part of our democratic system of governance and the other is at the heart of civil society. Councils have statutory duties to serve communities, while the other voluntarily serves communities.
