Policy & CAMPAIGNS

Ireland’s community and voluntary organisations, social enterprises and charities play a big part in all our lives at a local, national and international level. The Wheel is working to create the conditions for the sector to maximise this contribution.    

Nonprofit organisations face many challenges and opportunities in the way the sector is recognised, resourced and regulated.  This section of the website outlines the big issues and what we are doing to shape positive policies from the many stakeholders that can play a part in ensuring a thriving sector.  

You can read a summary of our current policy positions in our most up-to-date pre-Budget submission.  

We are working to create a new vision for the community and voluntary sector, informed by the needs and priorities of our members. You can view the findings of our most recent members’ policy survey here. 

As part of our work, we make frequent submissions on issues that impact our members and lead member-informed campaigns. You can read about our work around the 2024 general election here. 

Please contact the policy team if you have any comments or observations relating to our public policy and advocacy work.
