Description

An increasing number of UK government policies, including Levelling Up and the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, are impacting on voluntary organisations in Scotland and the communities they work with.

With the next general elections just around the corner, join us to hear from a Minister for Levelling Up, about how the UK Government plans to work in partnership with the voluntary sector, local authorities and the Scottish Government to tackle the social, economic and environmental challenges we are facing.
