Women's Resource Centre - Consultation Event

Getting Gender on the Agenda (WRC consultation event)
Monday 11 July, 1pm-3:30pm (lunch included)

The government is consulting on its relationship with the voluntary and community sector (Strengthening Partnerships: Next Steps for Compact). The Women's Resource Centre presents a lively and informative discussion and consultation about how the public sector and funders relate to women's organisations, and what can be done. The discussion will directly inform WRC's response to the government on this issue.

• Responses to the consultation: New Philanthropy Capital, arguing that there is no incentive for funders to comply with the compact so it won't work. They say it should emphasise more how taxpayers money can be saved by efficiency if funders give longer-term funding.
