- I am SCVO's policy and public affairs lead on funding and procurement. I cover the Programme for Government, the Scottish and UK Budgets, and the cost-of-living. I also work on the role of the voluntary sector as an employer, focusing on Fair Work and volunteering and represent SCVO on the Scottish Volunteering Forum Steering Group. I previously led on social security, poverty, and rights-based approaches and SCVO's Policy Network and Intermediaries Network. To discuss our policy priorities or find out more about our networks get in touch.
