Compact week 3-9 November 2003

The Compact on Relations between Government and the Voluntary and Community Sector celebrates its 5th birthday this November. Compact Week 3-9 November will see a joint push by Government and the sector to build on engagement with the Compact and Codes of Good Practice, as well as celebrate our many achievements to date.

Compact Week is a great opportunity for Government (at all levels) and voluntary and community sector organisations to do something to promote the Compact during the week, or to learn more about it.
