"It's great that the Third Sector now has its own co-ordinated voice at the national level - the TSNLA will go a long way to plug the gap at the national level where the voices and issues of VCS providers need to be articulated and listened to. Communication is part of the lifeblood that will connect up local experience and issues to national policy and programme and funding design. 

The TSNLA website will help do just that - inform the sector of new developments at national level, listen to the sector around the key issues where members want change and connect it all up so that clear, powerful messages get through to the right people and around the right tables - where decisions can be made. Please use it!"
