Developing a Voluntary Sector Insight into the Future of Scotland
In early 2005, SCVO?s policy committee commissioned a ?Lead Group? of senior representatives from and connected to the voluntary sector to develop an initial insight into the future of Scotland from the perspective of voluntary organisations. To inform the Lead Group?s report, a series of ?futures? discussion seminars was held during 2005 with a wide range of representatives from the voluntary sector as well as with expert guest commentators on key future policy issues. Two outputs were produced from this process: The first output, the Lead Group Report, presents the views gathered from the futures seminars based around the following five themes: ? sustainability ? demography ? well-being ? innovation / technology ? values The second output, the Lead Group Recommendations paper, provides a reflection on the Lead Group Report by the Lead Group and identifies specific suggestions and questions for further consideration by the voluntary sector in particular.
