SCVO recognises that climate change is the next big threat to our health and wellbeing. The Scottish Government has committed to turning Scotland into a carbon neutral country by 2045 and reducing emissions by 75% (compared to 1990) by 2030. This will mean big changes to the way we live our lives, run our homes and businesses

In the run up to the 2021 Holyrood election, we’re asking Scottish Parliamentary candidates to show their commitment to Scotland’s third sector by signing the Social Economy Pledge. The pledge has been created by a group of organisations led by Social Enterprise Scotland

Scotland’s voluntary sector has been never more needed and never more stretched than it is right now as we strive to cope with coronavirus. We don’t know what the long-term impact of this will be, but we do know how important it is to record what’s going on now so we can build on everything we’ve learnt for the future

Here at SCVO, we love charities. We believe every person who works to make a difference to Scottish communities should be valued, and that includes our colleagues who have come from other EU countries to live and work here. Scotland’s voluntary sector is strengthened thanks to their contribution
