NAVCA

NAVCA is the only national membership body specifically for local sector support and development organisations (also known as local infrastructure) in England. Alongside our members, we are part of the movement for local social action.

Our members support over 145,000 local charities and voluntary groups across the country, helping them to thrive and deliver essential services within their communities.

Through NAVCA, our members share knowledge, experience and best practice. We provide spaces, face-to-face and online, for them and our team to network and learn.

NAVCA works to give our members a credible, influential voice in key national forums. We ensure that their views, opinions and concerns are heard. We also ensure that the value and contribution of local infrastructure is fed in to policy makers and decision takers.

We regularly host member forums and roundtables on a wide range of topics, on everything from their views on proposed government policy to the essential role our members play in a local emergency or crisis incident.
