We’re supporting Fair Funding

We’re proud to offer our support to the Fair Funding initiative. It works to make sure that voluntary sector funding is fair, flexible, sustainable and accessible. 

The Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations (SCVO) found that issues accessing and recieving funding make it harder for charities to support people and communities across Scotland. 

They are calling for Fair Funding, which would help tackle these issues.  

“The voluntary sector is operating in an increasingly challenging environment. Progress on these issues is essential to ensure a sustainable voluntary sector.“

Anna Fowlie, Chief Executive at SCVO 

SCVO directs the call at the Scottish Government. However, it applies to all funders, including local government and independent funders. 

Fair Funding includes: 

  • longer-term funding models 
  • accessible and consistent processes 
  • more unrestricted funding with in-built increases.  

It is central to a sustainable voluntary sector in Scotland and we’re proud to offer our support.
