We want to ensure that the Compact way of working is part of all sectors of our community and that the Voluntary and Community sector (VCS) are able to make an impact on the decision making of the Braintree District.
If we work together we can:
· Improve our relationship with funders and work towards long term funding.
· Ensure that statutory organisations consult with the VCS and provide us with realistic timescales
· Improve the status of volunteering and ensure that volunteers are valued no matter where they volunteer
· Ensure that all Voluntary & Community Groups no matter how large or small are taken into account in important decisions.
WE CAN ACHIEVE THIS THROUGH THE BRAINTREE DISTRICT LOCAL COMPACT
