Policy and Research

The impact of a recession  

The worsening economic climate will create both challenges and opportunities for voluntary and community organisations. NCVO has invited sector leaders and government representatives to a summit on 24 November to discuss the economic crisis and its impact on civil society. We are interested to hear what impact you think a recession will have on your organisation, how you plan to respond, and what support you would find helpful.
