Coronavirus and its impact on the Scottish voluntary sector – what do we know so far? (May 2020)
This briefing gives a summary of some of the key issues that Coronavirus is having on voluntary organisations, from the start of the crisis up until 20th May. The paper pulls together data from a range of surveys and intelligence gathered by third sector organisations and infrastructure bodies seeking to understand the impact of Coronavirus on their members. The main focus here is on the impact on organisations although understanding the impact on the people and communities we serve is key to the sector’s longer-term planning.
The landscape the voluntary sector is currently working in is constantly changing, and our top priorities are evolving as time passes. SCVO will be continuing to monitor sector survey data and intelligence as it comes in. We plan to release future analyses of sector-led intelligence in the coming months. All research and insights shared with us will be collated in our searchable Evidence Library:
