The #NeverMoreNeeded campaign has emerged from the COVID-19 pandemic, with several charities and infrastructure organisations giving their backing to raising awareness of all the wonderful – and essential – support that the voluntary and community sector has given during this time.
At CVS, we have also been supporting this campaign on our COVID-19 sector impact pages.
