What is the Community Sector Coalition?

The Community Sector Coalition was established in 1994 by a group of Chief Executives of national umbrella organisations whose work focused on the community sector. They met to establish a Coalition of organisations that wanted to champion the unique contribution that the community sector makes to society.

Since 1994 the Coalition has met regularly to share information, network, develop joint projects and respond collectively to Government policy. The added value that is generated through members working together ensures that resources are used more effectively across organisational boundaries and that a stronger, unified voice campaigns on issues vital to the sector.

Our activities 2007-2010 will further each of the Coalition’s aims:

  • To campaign for policy change that will benefit the community sector
  • To deliver a programme of research and learning about the community sector
  • To enable members to share information and identify priorities for collective action
