6.3 About Volunteer Scotland and CVSL

Volunteer Scotland [Tip: hold Ctrl and click a link to open it in a new tab. (Hide tip)] is the national body for volunteering in Scotland and exists to help you make a difference through volunteering. Scotland, more than ever, needs us all to share in the nation’s common good. The potential to bring out the best in us has never been better and we’re supporting you by:

• recognising the need for volunteers and demonstrating how this makes a difference
• understanding what volunteers and volunteer-involving organisations want to do
• making volunteering easy for everyone, so that more people volunteer and have a great time.

The Centre for Voluntary Sector Leadership (CVSL) is hosted by The Open University Business School. It builds on The Open University Business School’s expertise in leadership in the voluntary and public sectors and in open and distance learning, engaging in a range of academic research, policy work, and working in partnership with practitioners.
