Martin Sime, Chief Executive of the Scottish Council for Voluntary Services welcomed the Independent Budget Review’s findings:

"This review sets out a clear vision for radical reform of our public services.  We strongly welcome the recommendation that the voluntary sector must play a much bigger role in the future.  Such a move would allow us to do more of what we do best.  From caring for older people in their own home to inspiring and training young people, the voluntary sector excels at preventing bigger problems arising – something that’s needed now more than ever.
If politicians genuinely want to deliver for the people of Scotland, they must start doing things differently."
