The Wheel Launches Pre-Budget 2023 Campaign for CV Sector

Budget 2023 provides an opportunity to build a future shaped by community; one in which charities, community groups, and social enterprises can efficiently and effectively work with those they serve.

The Wheel's pre-Budget campaign, The Future is Community, calls for a Budget that provides much-needed resources and support for the CV sector during the tough economic times ahead.

Its recommendations for Budget 2023  focus on enabling organisations to continue to provide stable, much-needed services. This includes calls on government to:

• Increase funding for services and supports provided by community and voluntary organisations to enable them to address the recruitment and retention crisis in the sector.
• Mainstream multi-annual funding and ensure adequate funding levels for services generally 
• Support fundraising to recover post-COVID-19 through increasing tax and VAT measures to support charities
• Provide for the cost of compliance and streamline regulatory and funding-related compliance requirements 
• Address the cost of insurance

You can support the campaign by emailing your local TDs, attending The Wheel's pre-Budget briefing on 15 September, and using the hastag #FutureIsCommunity on Twitter.
