• Are you involved in a community or voluntary organisation?
• Have you come across the Compact in your work?
• Would you like to tell the government what you think is working and not working with the Compact?

Compact Voice, the representative body for the VCS on the Compact, is looking for people to take part in a focus group either in London, Birmingham or Manchester. The purpose of the focus group is to find out about your experience of the Compact and will be included as part of a wider report exploring the relationship between the sector and the government as framed by the Compact. What you tell us will be presented directly to government ministers (including Phil Hope and Ed Milliband) and will help set priorities for the future.

We are looking for people who have had positive as well as negative experiences. We are also looking to reflect the diversity of the voluntary and community sector so no matter the size of your organisation, the activity you engage in, or the groups you represent, we would be very interested in hearing from you. The focus groups will take place in London on 19^th September and 9^th October, in Birmingham on 27^th September and in Manchester on 2^nd October.

Lunch and travel costs will be provided as well as redeemable NCVO book vouchers and a copy of the final report.

To find out more please contact stefan.simanowitz@ncvo-vol.org.uk or telephone 020 7520 2486.
