SCVO believes in an inclusive and sustainable economy that values and benefits the voluntary sector. Voluntary organisations play an essential role in Scotland’s economy, working in partnership across sectors, delivering public services, and supporting resilient communities. Â
We help decision makers across sectors understand the invaluable economic contribution made by voluntary organisations to Scottish society, including but not limited to its substantial role as an employer. We also believe that a successful and equitable partnership between the voluntary and public sectors is vital to achieving the best outcomes for people and communities.
