    It is too late to book a place for this particular session, sorry about that.

    As champions of social good, you understand the ever-growing demand for your services. However, rising costs and funding challenges threaten the sustainability of social enterprises across Scotland.

    In this webinar, you'll dive deep into the critical issue of funding for the third sector.

    The Social Justice and Social Security Committee is looking for evidence and to hear views from you over the budget for 2025-26.

    The Committee wants to examine how the Scottish Government’s approach to fair and efficient funding can contribute to the continued effectiveness of the third sector.

    Learn about the calls from the sector for:

    • Longer-term funding to ensure stability and planning
    • Flexible, unrestricted core funding for good governance and service delivery
    • Funding that keeps pace with inflation and covers full operating costs
    • Support for paying staff a fair wage like the Real Living Wage
    • Streamlined funding processes to maximise efficient use of resources

    This interactive session goes beyond just identifying challenges. They’ll discuss ways to improve the funding application and reporting process, ensuring your valuable work receives the resources it deserves.

    With three clerks from the Committee explaining the background and impact this session could have, as well as taking down your views.
