Review of Third Sector Infrastucture

VIEWS FROM LOCAL THIRD SECTOR ORGANISATIONS

The Scottish Government recognise that the local third sector infrastructure in Scotland is an important part of the landscape and they are focusing on how to improve and strengthen it. As a first step the Scottish Government commissioned an independent evaluation of the Third Sector Interface model and Voluntary Action Scotland.

Scottish Ministers have made it very clear that they want to increase the scale and pace of change, and have stated “We need to disrupt current assumptions about delivery to get the best value for public money and the best outcome for everyone in Scotland”. They acknowledge that the Third Sector has a crucial role to play in delivering change and they need your help to do it. Hence the Scottish Government want all 32 TSI’s to discuss with their Third Sector partners and produce a report of the findings by 9th June, 2017.

You will play a key role in shaping a collaborative approach to the provision of services and delivery, both locally and nationally short, medium and long term. It is crucially important that you have an opportunity to examine how the sector is structured and organised and to input your views. The Ayrshire Community Trust and Arran CVS as partners in the Third Sector Interface in North Ayrshire would invite you to complete the Survey below and have your say.

The Scottish Government have stated “Third sector is no longer being seen as passive deliverers of public service outcomes but rather as co-producers, leaders in your fields, agents of change”
