In November 1998, Central Government signed a Compact with the voluntary and community sector at national level, to help guide the development of relationships between them.
The Government then encouraged the adoption of the Compact principles and guidelines at local level, where most community and voluntary activity takes place. The target set by Ministers for all local authority areas to be covered by a Local Compact was April 2005.
