NCVO Launch New FIVE Year Strategy 2014-19 The new strategy will shape work into 2019. It reflects views on how society is changing, the challenges voluntary and volunteering organisations are facing and the vision for change. The strategy is made up of FIVE strategic aims and describes the role the NCVO will play in leading and connecting the sector to make these changes happen. The NCVO reports: "The strategy was developed by asking voluntary and volunteering organisations to tell us about the challenges they face and what they wanted from us. The responses steered the work of our staff, trustees, volunteers and partners to produce this blueprint for our future. This marks a new direction for NCVO and will underpin everything we do. Championing volunteering will be at the heart of our work, as will involving and representing our members"
