For the past 6 years NVSC has provided the Voluntary, Community and Faith sectors with the following services:

The Council have stated that they are committed to providing Third Sector support via a co-ordinating body, however they have, to date, not identified the financial resources that this requires, and this is also missing from the draft specifications.
The Council have started the process of consultation and have met with key infrastructure organisations, held a meeting of the sectors and are speaking to individual organisations.
In support of NVSC, we would urge you, your members and colleagues to sign the petition for the following reasons:

This is clearly an attack on the ability of the sector to organise and have a voice. Losing a co-ordinating body will be a backwards step and will mean the return of the practise of not working together and where information is only available to a few.
Does it make any sense to oversee the demise of one organisation and then spend time and energy - not to mention financial resources - to set up another co-ordinating body?
This is your opportunity to support, not just NVSC, but all the local infrastructure organisations and the wider Voluntary Community and Faith lead organisations in the borough - it might be their turn next!
On behalf of Newham Council, NVSC held a Third Sector Support Consultation Event on February 6th 2008.
Newham Council is consulting on a specification for Third Sector Support.
We want to ensure that as many people as possible respond to the consultation.
Please take the time to read not only the draft specification but also the
other documents. As we receive responses they will be posted here.
