Scotland's Third Sector


Home

Following last year’s highly successful event, Holyrood magazine is delighted to be working with SCVO for the third annual third sector conference.

The Scottish third sector is a big part of the Scottish economy. It turns over £4.4 billion, employs 137,000 people in more than 45,000 organisations, and manages assets totalling more than £9.2bn.  More importantly, each year it helps hundreds of thousands of people across Scotland to lead more fulfilling and less encumbered lives.
The biggest issue facing the sector at this time is change.  Every organisation is facing change, whether as a result of changing contracts or funding, or due to the economic climate, increasing demand or trying to do more with less.  Organisations and individuals are asking questions, how do we cope, adapt and take advance of the rapidly changing circumstances to deliver a better Scotland.
