The Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations (SCVO) is the national body representing the interests of the voluntary sector in Scotland. It does so through its policy committee which is elected from its membership of around 1300 Scottish voluntary organisations. SCVO’s mission is to advance the values and shared interests of the voluntary sector. As part of this, we provide the sector with information and assistance; support them to improve their effectiveness and efficiency and to represent their views to Government and bother public bodies.
