What is local infrastructure?

Our members are local VCS infrastructure organisations, who play a vital role in building and maintaining strong, resilient and thriving communities.

NAVCA members are at the forefront of local voluntary and community action. They support 200,000 local charities and voluntary groups across England, helping them to deliver essential services within their communities. 

The NAVCA family is a small one – with under 200 members, we pride ourselves on being as flexible and responsive to individual members’ needs as possible.  

NAVCA members play a vital role in contributing to improving health, wellbeing and care outcomes across England. 

NAVCA is committed to challenging oppression and prejudice and aims to promote both diversity and full access to opportunity in all areas of our work and structures.

We offer two Quality Accreditations - the Volunteer Centre Quality Accreditation (VCQA) and the Local Infrastructure Quality Accreditation (LIQA).
