Campaigning

Welcome to the campaigning and advocacy workstream

Our mission is to develop, promote and champion excellence in campaigning and advocacy across the third sector. We do this by ensuring effective support for the sector by support providers and by building the capacity of those providers to influence decision makers effectively.

Our aims

We aim to create a dynamic learning culture amongst support providers that will foster enthusiasm, creativity and innovation in campaigning and advocacy. It will be based on solid grounding in high-quality knowledge and skills. We will provide access to high-quality, evidence-based research on needs and good practice.

What problems do we want to solve?

The first two years of the Campaigning Effectiveness programme, run by the National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO), has produced evidence indicating there remains a lack of clarity around campaign aims and routes towards achieving them. Also identified is a need for fostering creativity and innovation in campaigning and advocacy design, development and delivery.
