About the voluntary sector
Guide to working and volunteering in the sector
With three new charities registered in Scotland every working day, the sector is vast, vibrant and varied – and changing all the time.
Intermediaries
Intermediaries are voluntary sector organisations whose members are primarily other voluntary sector organisations that share a common interest or purpose. Their main role is to support and represent these members. Intermediaries are also called umbrella bodies, membership bodies or network bodies.
Terrific Trustees
With over 250,000 trustees across the country who help manage, shape and guide voluntary sector organisations, we think it’s important to provide practical help and information which caters specifically to board members.
