Many of you have signed our letter to Chloe Smith, and submitted evidence to the Political and Constitutional Select Committee. Thank you so much for all your efforts so far.
It’s really important we can make sure that MP’s understand the impact this bill will have – please can you encourage your MP to attend the following drop in session in Parliament on the morning of second reading.
They will be able to talk to NCVO’s policy team about the intricacies of the bill and talk to a range of charities and voluntary groups that will be affected.
