The Compact is the agreement between government and the voluntary and community sector to improve their relationship for mutual advantage and community gain.
This website is provided by the Commission for the Compact, an independent organisation for the Compact, overseeing the relationship between government and the voluntary and community sector.
We work with key partners to take the Compact forward including Compact Voice who represent the views of the sector on the Compact and the Office of the Third Sector who ensure that the Commission and government work closely together on Compact issues.
