NAVCA is the national voice of local third sector infrastructure in England. Its members work with 164,000 local third sector groups and organisations that provide community services, regenerate neighbourhoods, promote volunteering and tackle discrimination in partnership with local public bodies.

NAVCA's purpose is to promote the local third sector nationally. It does this by providing its members with information, advice, networking and learning opportunities, support and development services. In turn, it draws on its members’ experience to influence government and contribute to national policy. It also works closely with other national bodies to ensure a collaborative approach to policy development.
