Third Sector Support – Edinburgh Partnership Review
The Edinburgh Partnership(this will open in a new window) is conducting a review of how it supports and works with third sector organisations in Edinburgh. This includes how we deliver grant funding and commissioning, how we ask third sector organisations to monitor and report on what they do, and what in-kind support we provide.
Please share your views through Edinburgh Council’s Consultation Hub survey(this will open in a new window) or attend one of the workshops listed on the Hub.
This survey is for third sector organisations of all types – voluntary organisations, social enterprises, and charities.
We recognise that a well-functioning third sector is essential for Edinburgh, and that third sector organisations are our partners in delivery of a vast range of services to all communities in the city. The third sector directly supports Edinburgh residents with person-centred services that are difficult for the public sector to provide or where trust in the public sector is low. We know how big a difference the third sector makes especially in building personal resilience and helping vulnerable people enjoy good, rewarding lives.
This review is happening now to allow the findings to influence decision making processes for Edinburgh Partnership organisations for the next financial year. Results will be shared with participants and the wider third sector, and with the Council’s Policy and Sustainability Committee in August.
