What is COMPACT?

A Compact is a countywide partnership agreement between statutory bodies and the voluntary and community sector designed to improve our relationships and provide a framework within which we can understand what to expect from each other.

The Cambridgeshire Compact provides:

• a set of Undertakings that clarify roles and expectations;
• an agreement to work towards 3-year funding cycles;
• a recommended 12 weeks notice of changes;
• an honest problem-solving environment;
• a set of Good Practice Codes.

All statutory groups and organisations including Housing Associations, Parish Councils, and voluntary and community groups who support Compact values and principles can join a Compact.

The Volunteering Code of Good Practice, together with the Community Groups Code of Good Practice are now available for consultation. If you would like to comment on these codes, please use the consultation reply forms.
