Focus on third sector

摘要

The third sector is a valuable resource; in England alone it would cost ?18bn to replace the country's volunteers with full-time workers. The sector is incredibly diverse with thousands of organisations of varying sizes working to support a range of causes, frequently in partner?ship with public sector bodies, What unites all third-sector organisations is their reliance on funding and their need to demonstrate their charitable status to regulators such as the Charities Com?mission in England and Wales.
