Welfare Engagement Report 2016
Research by SCVO in 2014, Third Sector and Welfare on the Frontline, revealed a clear picture of the significant hardships being placed on many of the most marginalised individuals in society, which in turn substantially increased demand and pressure on the third sector. The research highlighted many organisations? lack of capacity to both keep abreast of welfare changes as well as develop networks and partnerships. In response, SCVO received funding from the Scottish Government to manage the Community Capacity Resilience Fund (CCRF), facilitate a series of welfare roundtables across the country, and deliver a welfare e-bulletin. As well as intelligence gathering and information dissemination, these spaces provided busy frontline organisations with networking opportunities, allowing for the sharing of best practice and acquisition of knowledge regarding welfare reform campaigns. This briefing provides an overview of this welfare engagement work, highlighting key learning points.
