Compact champions

Compact Champions are our top priority. They make the Compact happen by getting it known and used in their organisation. They help relationships between groups and public bodies to run smoothly by encouraging good practice in working together. Here you can find out more about their roles and impact.

Latest News Welcome Pack coming soon We're producing a Welcome Pack for champions in the voluntary sector. Let us know if there's something you want to be included in it - it should be ready in April and available to download from this page. Champion Training Let us know if you would like support with the design and delivery of training. This month we are helping Bromley and Slough to train their Champions. Compact Champions Annual Conference postponed Unfortunately, the rules of purdah in the lead-up to the UK general election this year, mean that our partners the Commission for the Compact are prevented from helping us deliver the Compact Champions conference, proposed originally for 22 April. We're sorry this is no longer happening on the original date. But never fear - the event will definitely be held, and will be rescheduled for later in the year. Register as a champion to be notified immediately when new details are released.

From a national voluntary organisation?

Government has sector champions and liaison officers, and local groups have Compact Champions, but very few national voluntary organisations have their counterparts.  Compact Voice wants to help this happen in 2010 so national organisations make the most of the refreshed Compact. Interested? Join our Online Forum Champions Group or discuss it with us.
