Strengthening Scotland’s Partnership with the Third Sector

As an amendment to motion S7M-00356 in the name of Shirley-Anne Somerville (Strengthening Scotland’s Partnership with the Third Sector) leave out from "a Third Sector Partnership” to end and insert "Scotland’s third sector requires sustainable, long-term funding settlements, including greater use of multi-year funding arrangements, to provide the certainty needed to plan services, retain staff and support communities, and calls on the Scottish Government to undertake a review of organisations registered as charities that are substantially dependent on public funding and whose primary activities include lobbying or campaigning, to ensure transparency, accountability and public confidence in the use of taxpayers’ money."
