Merry Christmas!

Posted on 18 December 2020 by Christie McAlpine

When I first joined SCVO back in January 2020 I could never have imagined how this year has turned out. Through all of the challenges that 2020 has brought, I have been blown away by the response of the voluntary sector, and feel extremely privileged to play a small part in the fantastic work that SCVO has done to support organisations over the past nine months.

This year, Funding Scotland has seen over 150,000 people visit the site to search for funding, 214 new funds have been added to the site along with 93 Covid-19 specific funds.

We have also been busy working on some exciting developments that we can't wait to share so keep an eye out for more news in the new year!

SCVO will be closed from Thursday 24 December until Tuesday 5 January 2021. During that time you can still use the website to search for funding but there will be no updates and any emails will be responded to once we are back in January.

Wishing everyone a wonderful Christmas and a happy New Year!
