The NCVO has invited sector leaders to a summit to discuss what the new government means for the sector.
Stuart Etherington, chief executive of the National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO), said: "We have witnessed a significant change in the political landscape. It is now our responsibility to work effectively with this new coalition government.
"We particularly welcome the Prime Minister's commitment to the Big Society he reiterated last night. We look forward to helping him refine that vision and clearly set out the role our organisations can play within it.
"It will be imperative that our sector works together to create an environment in which voluntary organisations can thrive. For this reason, I have today invited sector leaders to a summit meeting to look at what the new government will mean for the people and communities we work with and for.
"We recognise that these are difficult economic times and the government will have to make some tough decisions.
"However, it is important that spending plans recognise the role that VCOs play across many policy areas and that they are properly supported to play those roles, not because of who they are, but because of the real difference they make to the lives of individuals and communities."
