- Training and Events: Participation in training sessions, workshops, seminars, and events tailored to build skills and capacity.
- Funding Support: Guidance and support in identifying funding opportunities, navigating the application process, and developing strong proposals.
- Policy and Advocacy: Engagement in policy analysis, advocacy, and lobbying efforts to influence government policies and decisions.
- Networking and Collaboration: Facilitation of networking, collaboration, and partnership opportunities among voluntary organisations and stakeholders.
- Research and Publications: Access to research, reports, and publications on trends, issues, and best practices within the voluntary sector.

You may also consider contacting your local Council for Voluntary Organisations (CVO) or Third Sector Interface (TSI). Both serve as central hubs offering support and guidance to the third sector within local areas. Each local authority area in Scotland hosts a TSI, and most have a CVO.
