The Alliance has reviewed the three main political parties’ manifestos, published this week, to see what commitments are being made regarding our members’ interests. Although macro economic factors loom large throughout, this analysis, using key words to search the PDF versions, identifies statements on culture, heritage, planning, environment, communities and the voluntary sector. Included within these extracts are points on VAT, Gift Aid, the National Lottery and English Heritage.
Mindful of the Charity Commission’s guidance on charities and elections – that they must leave it to the electorate to make their own decisions about how to vote – the statements are simply cut and pasted with no editing of content.
