Glasgow’s Strategic Volunteering Framework (SVF)
For the first time Glasgow has a volunteering strategy that has been adopted by the Community Planning Partnership (CPP). An implementation plan was agreed by the CPP Strategic Board on 26th February 2010. The plan was developed on the basis of primary and secondary research, scoping work and consultation events conducted in 2009. It is also the basis of the Glasgow 2014 Legacy Framework – Inclusive Glasgow/Volunteering action plan.
Why is it relevant for you?
- It will mean that any resources for supporting and developing volunteering and those activities and services reliant on volunteers – particularly any resources from the public sector – need to demonstrate how they will help deliver the SVF implementation plan.
- And, therefore, that resources are directed towards programmes of partnership activity that best address both current volunteering needs and issues and those that were highlighted during the 2009 research/consultation.

The records of the 2009 scoping/consultation events co-facilitated by the Volunteer Centre on behalf of the SVF Steering Group are listed below as pdf files for download. Many individuals, clubs, groups and organisations participated in facilitated discussion to help prioritise issues for the SVF Implementation Plan. Inevitably, many groups/organisations couldn’t attend: if you have issues you would like to contribute please email us – you may have issues that can be addressed quickly and/or that can be fed into local and/or city wide planning processes.
