Policy Forum

The Policy Forum is an SCVO initiative to strengthen the voice of the voluntary sector in Scotland. Members of the Forum are supported by SCVO to take a lead role on behalf of SCVO and the wider voluntary sector to think about the future of the social, political, and economic context within which the sector operates.

The Forum follows a process  similar to  a parliamentary committee; hearing from key stakeholders, gathering evidence and intelligence, analysing it, and producing an annual report on an agreed futures focused topic which makes recommendations to SCVO.

You can now view the Policy Forum’s Manifesto for the Future, which was launched at The Gathering on 20 February 2020.

To contact the Forum email policy@scvo.org.uk

Current membership of the Forum:

  • David McColgan (Chair)
  • Shaben Begum
  • Kate Cunningham
  • Jim Dorman
  • Jennifer Fingland
  • Andrew Jackson
  • Paul Liddell
  • Ian McCall
