From The Malta Independent: Enactment of legislation to strengthen the voluntary sector - &#8220;The National Council of Women welcomed the Voluntary Organisations Act, passed by the House of Representatives on 24 September.&#8221; This item is rather truncated and doesn&#8217;t explain much but it appears that a Commissioner [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Radio 4&#8217;s new series of &#8216;Analysis&#8217; kicked off yesterday evening with a programme called Changing Charities where  Professor Alison Wolf of King&#8217;s College London asked: &#8220;Have we found a third way which offers the best of both public and private? Or just created a threat to charities&#8217; treasured ability to speak truth to power?&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ed Miliband, Minister for the Third Sector, this week gave a  lecture to NCVO in memory of Nicholas Hinton. He is very keen to hear sector  comments.
The lecture, &#8216;Changing lives, changing society&#8217;, explores the appropriate roles of the government and third sector,  and argues against an &#8220;isolationist&#8221; model that sees either sector [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s not as though there aren&#8217;t probably too many charity networks or support bodies out there already, but on OpenCharityBlog I&#8217;ve followed up a comment on The Observer&#8217;s pages asking about a network for kitchen table heroines&#8217;. Cristina Odone highlights in a short piece today the work done &#8216;around the kitchen table&#8217; by very small [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I seem to be almost agreeing with the opinion pieces emanating from Luke FitzHerbert at Directory of Social Change these days, unlike when I worked alongside him there.
In this week&#8217;s Third Sector, he asks how the sector can justify its tax breaks, when &#8220;too often&#8221;  charities operate like businesses prepared to do anything to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s the start of an interesting post on YouthNet&#8217;s blog (4th May):
&#8220;Should the local volunteering infrastructure be funded by national government?
&#8220;On a day when turnout in local elections is expected to be below 40%, volunteering provides a good illustration of the tensions between national and local.
&#8220;On the one hand, national government wants to utilise volunteering [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Skimming the current (April) issue of NCVO&#8217;s Voluntary Sector magazine, which has a focus on Campaigning, I was intrigued by a quote: &#8220;Many people forget that campaigning is a relatively new discipline. We need to foster credibility and legitimacy.&#8221;
This is from Chris Stalker, who is to head up NCVO&#8217;s new Campaigning Effectiveness Programme, launching in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The branding survey being run for the new youth volunteering charity following on from the Russell Commision is clearly after under 25s, and doesn&#8217;t warrant a mention on VoluntaryNews. But some readers may be interested in the weird and wonderful questions.
I gave up at the first page of &#8216;real&#8217; questions, asking views on &#8216;words&#8217; like [...]]]></description>

Firstly, it was good to be reminded by Chris Pond, the chair of the new CapacityBuilders body, that all ChangeUp funding will [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday&#8217;s Hubs Launch Event in Birmingham was interesting as much for the private conversations as the public messages. A wide variety of frustration and anger came my way from a range of people I spoke to, from concerns from sector suppliers that their business model was being undermined by public funds, to what I guess [...]]]></description>
