SCVO works in partnership with the voluntary sector in Scotland to advance our shared values and interests. We have over 1300 members who range from individuals and grassroots groups, to Scotland-wide organisations and intermediary bodies. Everyday more organisations realise the benefits of being Stronger Together by using our shared services and business support.
