Third Sector Partnership
The Scottish Government is to develop an agreement with the third sector to strengthen its voice and improve lives.
The Third Sector Partnership will be co-designed with the sector, guided by some of the key principles in the Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisation’s 2026 manifesto, to set out how both can work together to enhance services.
This includes: protecting the sector’s future and independence with fairer funding; a focus on shared goals to improve outcomes for people and communities; and providing greater opportunity to contribute to policy and service design.
