Description

Are you an employer looking to launch or grow an Employer Supported Volunteering (ESV) Programme? Or a Volunteer Involving Organisation (VIO) interested in hosting ESV opportunities? This event is for you.At the 2025 Gathering, Volunteer Scotland laid the groundwork for a national ESV framework. Now, one year on, we invite you to join Volunteer Scotland and the Scottish Government’s Volunteering Policy Team as we bring that framework to life—ready for its launch in 2026.This event is designed for organisations looking to establish or strengthen their Employer Supported Volunteering (ESV) programme, as well as for Volunteer Involving Organisations (VIOs) that host ESV opportunities. It will provide a space to explore and test the key elements of the new framework, ahead of its national launch at the end of March 2026, ensuring it meets the needs of both stakeholder groups.
