Listen Value Invest - promoting the importance of the third sector

On Tuesday 2 March Voluntary Sector North West (VSNW) staff and members of the North West Infrastructure Partnership (NWIP) travelled to the Houses of Parliament to launch Listen Value Invest.
Listen Value Invest is a new campaign for the Third Sector in England’s North West. As the country moves towards a General Election in an economic climate where large challenges are anticipated, VSNW believe that there has never been a more important time to show that listening to, valuing and investing in the sector is vital, not just for people and communities, but for the wider economy as well.

At their event they asked MPs and other decision makers to listen to, value and invest in the voluntary and community sector in the North West. Several of those in attendance signed the Listen Value Invest pledge – where they committed to specific actions to support the Third Sector in their area.

Listen Value Invest is based on case studies which demonstrate the sector supporting individuals, transforming communities and, importantly, delivering tangible economic benefits. This powerful combination of personal stories linked with genuine economic benefits will show decision-makers that the work of the Third Sector delivers real value for the North West.
