What CADA members say

“..it has been hugely valuable to have the support and share issues / challenges with other sector leaders, the coalition has never been more needed in the current climate with such an uncertain external backdrop and threat to global humanitarian programmes and impact.”
“ We are a small group and the One World Festival has been such a help in supporting and promoting events which we have held as part of the festival over a number of years”
“It is important to connect with other organisations given the many and new challenges the sector faces”
“I participated in a discussion on decolonisation and fundraising. It .. encouraged me that the challenges are similar for other organisations. The sharing of ideas and expertise was helpful”.
“Coordinated action through the All Party Group for International Development has helped raise the profile and led to actions from decision makers on key areas like ODA cuts, Business and Human Rights.”
Building and developing MLA networks and improved knowledge and understanding of other UK funding models for APGID, e.g. Welsh funding model, and new partnership opportunities with the two universities”, (has been beneficial)
