Coronavirus and its impact on the Scottish Third Sector — A review of the literature. (September - December 2020)
This paper, the third in the series, presents a summary of the existing literature on the impact coronavirus is having on voluntary sector organisations in Scotland. It includes research published primarily by Scottish voluntary sector organisations and infrastructure bodies between September and December 2020. The focus of this series is largely on the impact coronavirus is having on organisations, not the people and communities they serve. There is a wealth of literature on that topic, a selection of which can be found on SCVO’s Evidence Library.
The aim of this series of reviews is to help the sector to identify themes, trends, and gaps in our understanding about the impact coronavirus is having on voluntary organisations in Scotland. The new themes that emerged from a review of quarter three’s literature included staff’s concerns about furlough ending and returning to the office, and their mental health and wellbeing.
