NCVO publishes a discussion paper for charities regarding the EU Referendum, taking place on 23 June 2016.
Relatively little has been written about the impact of the EU on the voluntary sector so this paper aims to provide a guide to the debate on Britain’s continued membership of the European Union (EU) for voluntary organisations
The discussions paper is in two parts.
- Part one analyses some of the controversies underlying the referendum debate so far and considers what a British exit (‘Brexit’) might mean and what alternatives to full membership currently exist.
- Part two examines the impact of the EU on the sector, including EU support for voluntary sector organisations, both their engagement with EU institutions and with each other, as well as issues relating to funding and public procurement.
