Introducing the CT Social Value Toolkit 2.0 

The team over at ECT Charity has been hard at work on a completely revised version of their pioneering CT Social Value Toolkit – Version 2.0.

For Community Transport Association (CTA) members, the Civil Society Covenant offers a vital opportunity to strengthen and formalise the relationship between community transport providers and government. Led by NCVO and ACEVO and developed in partnership with the government, the Covenant aims to set a new, collaborative framework that respects and amplifies the essential role of civil society organisations.

Highly skilled and professional volunteers are the lifeblood of the Community Transport sector. Many drivers, passenger assistants, coordinators, and managers give their time to support their communities and work seamlessly alongside paid staff to ensure people can make the journeys they need and want to make, and across the UK volunteer Trustees and Non-Executive Directors provide strategic oversight and direction to ensure our network of Community Transport organisations are run safely and legally.

CTA reflections from the Labour Party Conference  

Nick and Caroline from the England team recently went to the Labour Party conference in Liverpool, to hear from the new Government and ensure Community Transport is considered in in the development of new policies.
