We agree with the statements and sentiment shared by sector partners @NCVO and @ACEVO in response to Wes Streeting’s comments. Charities have a legitimate right to campaign under the @ChtyCommission guidance and should not be discouraged. Throughout the comms and policy work of charities, they are advocates for their causes, helping to create real positive change through their campaigns, by working in collaboration and engaging in healthy discourse across networks. While the statements made by Wes Streeting are disappointing, we are hopeful the work through the covenant will reinforce and cement a stronger relationship between government and the voluntary sector, one which champions the vital role of charities and our work. bit.ly/40GdbKZ
