The charitable sector has been described as the "invisible subcontinent" on the social landscape - poorly understood by policy makers and the public at large, encumbered by unnecessary legal limitations, and inadequately utilised as a mechanism for solving social problems. Wouldn't it be nice if charities were on the agenda for this year's election, or at least on the radar, as opposed to constantly being on the menu (as Mark Carney - and the red M&M - might say). Join us on Tuesday next week for an election panel focused on the community and voluntary sector. I am looking forward to hearing the respective political parties' vision for the community and voluntary sector and their ideas for how best to unlock its immense potential. Many thanks to Ros Rice, Patrick Davies and the team at Community Networks Aotearoa for organising and to Rachel Woodhouse at the BNZ for hosting. Thank you also to Helen White, Dana Kirkpatrick, Laura McClure, Kayla Kingdon-Bebb, Mike Davidson, and Andy Foster for participating - we are much looking forward to your contribution

Look forward to seeing you there!
