Attending our Training & Events
Priority is given to any community group, voluntary organisation or social enterprise in Glasgow to join our free sector development training and events, where the relevant expertise is currently unavailable. Our session content should not be used for commercial purposes.
We can accept bookings from Community Interest Companies (CICs) but only where they have an asset lock in place or are wholly owned by another body such as a registered charity.
If places remain, Glasgow Public Sector partners in support of their partnership working with Glasgow Voluntary Sector and non-Glasgow Voluntary Sector organisations may attend. (Book and we will notify you if we are over capacity on this occasion.) If you are unsure, or would like to discuss, please email sectordev@gcvs.org.uk.
Places are limited to two people per organisation and to ensure the quality of the session, the overall number of attendees will generally be a maximum of 25. We use ZOOM to host our sessions, so please provide a unique email address for each attendee and let us know in the booking form of any additional access requirements you may have.
Some of our training opportunities have been developed, planned and will be delivered in partnership with the city-wide Glasgow Capacity Building Group including Glasgow City Council, Volunteer Glasgow, CEIS, GCVS, Jobs & Business Glasgow and Glasgow Life.
One to One Surgery Support
Our one-to-one sessions are strictly for community groups, voluntary organisations or social enterprises in Glasgow where relevant expertise is not otherwise available. For other local authority areas, please contact your local Third Sector Interface.
To share access to our support surgeries fairly, we say a maximum of three appointments per organisation in a three-month period and no more than one per week unless agreed with us. Most sessions are available during daytime office hours, but if you would like to request an evening session, please get in touch.
If you have any queries or would like to discuss your groups’ needs, please contact us at sectordev@gcvs.org.uk.
