 As we move into autumn, we’re poised to highlight the importance of equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) with National Inclusion Week – a timely reminder of the role we all play in creating a fairer, more inclusive voluntary sector. We will also be at the Labour Party conference at the end of September, showcasing the impact of our members as well as lobbying for a better partnership between government and civil society, building understanding of the Civil Society Covenant, and positioning voluntary organisations and charities as a critical partner in creating change together. For more on both of these, and others, in this edition of Membership Matters we also share a number of exclusive offers and events coming up for our members including: expert-led webinars, wellbeing support, details of our Annual General Meeting, and the launch of the Civil Society Almanac 2025.

Find out more about the conference Recognising the importance of EDI with National Inclusion Week Next week (15-21 September) is National Inclusion Week, an opportunity to spark fresh conversations, share bold ideas and take meaningful action. This year’s theme is ‘Now is the Time’, emphasising the importance of inclusion, urgency, resilience, and the need to push forward. This reflects the recent backlash against EDI, worsening economic pressures and ever-tighter budgetary restraints – and subsequent need to innovate and adapt to ensure that inclusion is a lasting commitment for the future. Within the voluntary sector, it’s crucial that organisations are proactively inclusive and reflective of society’s diversity.
