VHS are hosting a Kitchen Table discussion, online, on the 30th July, to discuss the Pre-budget 2025-26 scrutiny of Third sector funding principles. We have invited selected members, challengers and critical friends to join us at the Kitchen Table. Please contact Lauren Blair if you would like to express and interest in attending.
Your views will help to shape Voluntary Health Scotland’s response to the Social Justice and Social Security Committee’s Third Sector Funding Principles consultation, which aims ‘to examine how the Scottish Government’s approach to fair and efficient funding can contribute to the continued effectiveness of the third sector.’
The third sector is currently facing unprecedented financial pressure. Voluntary Health Scotland’s response will stress the importance of the work of the third sector and, in particular, its vital role in Scotland’s efforts to tackle health inequalities. To ensure that the sector is able to continue to carry out this vital role, longer term funding certainty will be crucial.
We are holding a Kitchen Table discussion to help us cast a critical eye over our consultation response focusing on health, and to benefit from the perspectives, expertise and experience of our membership and stakeholders. The main body of the meeting will be concentrating on the consultation questions.
Listening to, learning from and collaborating with our stakeholders is crucial to enable VHS to put forward important views of the impact on our membership and on widening health inequalities as part of our consultation response.
Please contact Lauren Blair with any further questions.
