Glasgow Third Sector Interface
Supporting Glasgow's Third Sector to function, grow and thrive!About Us
Third Sector Interfaces ensure the Third Sector is supported, developed and represented at local level. They came into being in 2011, giving Scottish Government and local Councils a Third Sector point of contact in each area.
Glasgow’s Third Sector Interface is an unincorporated partnership between Glasgow Council for the Voluntary Sector, Glasgow Social Enterprise Network, Volunteer Glasgow and Glasgow Third Sector Interface Network.
There have recently been some changes within the Glasgow TSI, so this site is currently under construction. Check back soon for more info, or in the meantime you can email information@gcvs.org.uk.
This partnership fulfils the first three aims of Third Sector Interfaces:
To develop and support social enterprises
To develop and support voluntary organisations in their local areas
To promote and support volunteering
