Positive change at VCED/EDCVS

East Dunbartonshire Volunteer Centre have joined forces with the Council for Voluntary Services to become East Dunbartonshire Voluntary Action.

Bringing services together means that we can harness the expertise of a wider range of skilled staff to provide more and better supports to East Dunbartonshire communities.

Our joint organisation has a new structure: a SCIO – A Scottish Charitabile Incorporated Organisation. This means our charitable status remains intact and out work remains focussed on the benefits we bring to East Dunbartonshire people and organisations.

Creating a joint organisation means that we are complying fully with the direction being set nationally for our sector. Close collaboration is expected and our new organisation underlines our commitment to this.

In this time of positive change, it’s business as usual for our service users. All aspects of the organisations services will be delivered as normal.

We are happy to discuss any aspect of this change with you. Please do not hesitate to contact Gilbert Grieve CEO on 0141-578-6680 for further information.

We do hope you will continue to support us and that East Dunbartonshire Voluntary Action will beneft from your continued custom.
