Voluntary Action Scotland, Supporting a Stronger Third Sector

Lodged by Chic Brodie Standard Motion 24 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament welcomes the publication of the Voluntary Action Scotland (VAS) report, Supporting a Stronger Third Sector; understands that this report highlights the impact that third sector interfaces (TSIs) make in communities across the country and their vital role in supporting the third sector; notes the contribution of VAS in supporting, advocating for and coordinating the 32 TSIs; considers that TSIs play a crucial role in building partnerships and collaborations locally between the third and public sectors and others, of particular importance when trying to deal with the difficult impacts of fiscal austerity and welfare reform; is encouraged by what it sees as the progress being made by TSIs in supporting the third sector and the potential that they demonstrate, particularly in supporting the third sector contribution to public service reform, and believes that continued support for VAS, TSIs and the third sector is crucial to supporting the social fabric of Scotland.
