#Thirdsector moves fast. We pivot, adapt, stretch.

But even agile systems need stable ground. Flexibility without multi-year backing won't sustain trauma-informed or community-led work.

2025 needs to be the turning point.

Good to see SCVO’s partnership approach.

In Stirling, we began this last year, via SVE through the Council’s Thriving Communities tender to build relational, place-based support.

Trust first. Outcomes follow.

Aberdeen pulled the plug on own anti-poverty programme overnight 😬

Strong outcomes weren’t enough. Priorities shifted, and the work disappeared. Scary when impact relies on corporate will.
