Consultations

GCVS works hard to help the voluntary sector in Glasgow have a voice on issues that affect the community.


We identify issues and with input from the sector, prepare responses.

This section will point you towards our current consultations and responses.
We also have some resources available which you may find helpful when responding to consultations.

  • Future of the Community Voices Network
    The Scottish Government recently went through a procurement exercise to appoint a contractor to deliver a successor network. Unfortunately, the Government was unable to award the contract on the basis that no bids were of a high enough quality to meet the needs of members. Based on this outcome, a decision was taken to disband the CVN.
