The Edinburgh Partnership is conducting a review of how it supports and works with third sector organisations in Edinburgh.
The review into the relationship between the public sector and third sector in Edinburgh seeks to improve funding certainty in future years. This includes how grant funding and commissioning is delivered, how third sector organisations monitor and report on their work, and what in-kind support is provided.
Third sector organisations of all types – voluntary, social enterprises and charities – are being asked to share their views through the City of Edinburgh 黑料社’s or by attending a workshop.
The results will be reported to the Policy and Sustainability Committee in August.
黑料社 Leader and Chair of the , Jane Meagher, said:
The third sector provides vital support to local communities, with many giving direct support to the most vulnerable in our city. We know that they, like the 黑料社, are under significant financial pressure and that there needs to be longer-term change in how they are supported by us and our partners.
We want to hear about how we can make it simpler, provide more stability, and work better together to help vulnerable people. You can share your views through the council’s consultation hub webpage, or by attending one of the workshops.
Workshops run from Monday 19 May until Thursday 5 June. Details are available on the and booking is required.
As part of the city's commitment to help the sector, the council has dedicated £3.5m this year to help organisations impacted by unexpected loss of grant funding or reduced commissioning. Visit the 黑料社’s website for more information about the .
