Seizing the Opportunity: The case for embracing civil society’s role in democracy.

A new report by the Brexit Civil Society Alliance that looks at why now more than ever civil society organisations need to be engaged with fully.

Civil society organisations play a vital role in a functioning democracy, creating a bridge between citizens and the state. With the UK’s future in flux facing many challenges as we tackle the COVID-19 pandemic and leave the EU we need to embrace the expertise and experience of organisations.

At the moment organisations face many barriers to being engaged by government of all levels. To hear more about what these are and why they need to be broken down, Jacob Millen-Bamford speaks to Mihai Calin Bica at Roma Support Group

You can join us at our report launch to hear from the report author, Kathryn Sturgeon, about the way forward set out in the report to truly include the voices of civil society organisations in democratic and policy-making processes.

Speakers include Sue Tibballs (Shiela McKechnie Foundation) and Ruth Ibegbuna (Founder of RECLAIM, The Roots Programme, and a Commissioner in the new Commission on Civil Society)

Interactive sessions will be led by Anna Nicholl (WCVA), Jane Thomas (BCSA), and Kristiana Wrixon (ACEVO)
