Fund Manager Required for Third Sector Transformation Fund

GCVS is seeking to commission an organisation to develop and manage a new funding stream for the Change Fund in Glasgow – the Third Sector Transformation Fund.

The aim of the Transformation Fund is to make visible the potential contribution and value of third sector activity in keeping older people well by reducing the strain on health budgets in the future.  The fund has been allocated £700,000 and specific investment will go towards projects and activities that can:

• Deliver innovative, effective preventative and anticipatory services that maximise the ability of older people to live independently for longer
• Build on existing effective services models
• Work in partnership to scale up proven effective services in a wider geographical or thematic area

Both the fund manager and organisation commissioned to evaluate the fund will report directly to GCVS, in its role as a signatory to the Change Plan.
