The Scottish Government

THE THIRD SECTOR AND THE COMMUNITY PLANNING PARTNERSHIPS

A major programme of change started in March 2008 when the Scottish Government announced that it would no longer fund the networks of councils of voluntary service, the volunteer centres, the local social economy partnerships and the social enterprise networks in their current form from April 2011.

The main goal is to align the third sector with the community planning partnerships (CPPs) and the single outcome agreements.

Three letters have been issued by the Scottish Government, advancing the process of change:

18 March 2008

21 October 2008

2 February 2009

The letter of 2 February invited the third sector in each local authority area to offer a progress report, preferably agreed with the CPP. These reports are available as pdf documents here (please note some reports have not yet been received and will be added as we receive them):
