Ruth Driscoll, Head of Policy and Public Services at the NCVO welcomes &#8220;their focus on early intervention&#8221; &#8220;which would better support vulnerable people and would lead to long-term cost-saving&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Improved incentives for work programme providers, many of which are voluntary organisations. \u00a0To update the Lobbying Act to draw on Lord Hodgson&#8217;s work is also seen are very positive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The manifesto recognises the value of the public having a voice in decision-making. \u00a0The voluntary sector&#8217;s role in providing and enabling this must be protected though it is not clear how this will be done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">UKIP<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>UKIP have said they would like to energise the voluntary sector in the build-up to this manifesto, but what does that mean? They are committed to scrapping the National Citizen Service, repealing International Aid, reducing the cabinet office spending on &#8216;big society projects&#8217; and scrapping the Defra Waste resource action project. \u00a0They believe this will save \u00a3250 million in the first year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They would replace these projects with the funding of 800 food banks and local advice centres, a veterans administration that would coordinate the work of existing charities and most interesting is the funding of &#8220;community agents and the voluntary sector&#8221; although specific details are very thin on the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They also claim that by leaving the EU they would be able to offer more VAT relief to charitable organisations on some services and products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">In summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What is clear, is that all parties recognise the importance of the voluntary sector, especially in a time of economic difficulty and for the poorest in society.\u00a0There do seem to be some real differences in how they think the sector should be funded and governed, and the role of government in that process. \u00a0Whoever wins, I think the sector is going to see even greater change over the next parliament and will need to be ready to adapt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You can find\u00a0<span style=\"color: #6fa200;\"><a style=\"color: #6fa200;\" href=\"https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/\">TeamKinetic<\/a><\/span> on social media and listen to our podcast:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><span style=\"color: #1da1f2;\"><a style=\"color: #1da1f2;\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TeamKineticUK\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a><\/span> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <span style=\"color: #3b5998;\"><a style=\"color: #3b5998;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/TeamKineticUK\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a><\/span>\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <span style=\"color: #0a66c2;\"><a style=\"color: #0a66c2;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/teamkinetic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LinkedIn<\/a><\/span>\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/c\/TeamKinetic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube<\/a><\/span>\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <span style=\"color: #c32aa3;\"><a style=\"color: #c32aa3;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/teamkineticuk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<span style=\"color: #1ed760;\"><a style=\"color: #1ed760;\" href=\"https:\/\/anchor.fm\/teamkinetic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Podcast<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>Have you enjoyed using TeamKinetic?
