SCVO Strategic Review - your views wanted
SCVO’s Strategic Review is being undertaken in the context of a new UK government, the prospect of a Scottish election in May 2011, and the most severe public expenditure restraint of recent times.  In this context we want to know how you think SCVO can best help our members, the wider sector and our partners to meet the challenges of the months and years ahead.

Please click here to access the survey.

The survey will remain open until 6 August 2010.

Mergers and collaboration
We've created a new section on our website providing information and guidance for organisations thinking about collaborating or merging with other organisations.
Read through our information pages and see if this style of working together would benefit your organisation.
