SCVO (Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations)

SCVO is the national membership organisation for the voluntary sector in Scotland. Our mission is to champion the role of voluntary organisations in building a flourishing society and support them to do work that has a positive impact. We're passionate about what the voluntary sector can achieve. Along with our community of over 3,000 members and supporters, we believe that a thriving voluntary sector should be at the heart of a successful, fair and inclusive Scotland. We tirelessly lobby and campaign to advance the interests of our members and the people and communities that they support, and empower people to make a difference in their communities by providing affordable services and office spaces, and access to quality information and resources. We also encourage digital participation, create networking opportunities, increase access to volunteer and job opportunities, and run hundreds of training courses throughout the year.
