OUR VISION is to be a Strong, Sustainable and Valued Asset for Shetland, playing a leading role in Championing and Supporting Community Needs. OUR MISSION is to Support, Represent and Develop Community and Voluntary Action in Shetland.
There are big changes for voluntary sector organisations as a result of the Disclosure (Scotland) Act 2020. Key updates include: Membership of the PVG scheme will be a legal requirement from 1st April 2025 for those carrying out a regulated role.
Opening and maintaining a bank account is a key task for many for third sector organisations but it can be challenging to navigate the banking environment – especially when it comes to choosing and opening the right bank account, understanding bank charges and fees.
Along with other Third Sector Interface’s throughout Scotland, Voluntary Action Shetland distributed a 4th year of the Scottish Government Community Mental Health and Wellbeing Fund for Adults to support community activity until March 2026. Shetland’s allocation for year 4 totalled £71,944.
