Caithness Voluntary Group are no different to any other organisation in the third sector facing difficult financial times. We are partly funded by the Scottish Government via Highland Third Sector Interface (HTSI) and partly funded by our own enterprise such as rental income. We have recenty been informed by HTSI that our funding is being cut by 13% equivalent to £11,600. Our sister organisations in the Highlands are also facing cuts as HTSI look to centralise work at their base in Dingwall. This is obviously a worrying development not only for CVG but for the groups and individuals we support and something about which we will be making representations to our elected officials and the Scottish Government.
We are determined to continue to support the vital Community sector in Caithness but need to balance our budget. One of the measures that we are taking is changing our office hours. From 1 October we will now be open from 9.30 – 2pm Monday to Friday. During those hours Helen and Mary will be delighted to help you with services including typing, photocopying, printing of newsletters, quizzes etc, laminating, mailing lists/labels, scanning, tickets and programmes. We also have an Umnrella lottery licence.
Providing financial support to organisations responsible for the operation, management or safeguarding of historic environment assets is a vital part of our wider efforts to safeguard Scotland’s historic environment and promote its understanding and enjoyment.
The Organisational Support Fund can provide financial support to organisations responsible for the operation, management or safeguarding of historic environment assets to assist in the delivery of defined projects/activities and/or to provide resilience funding.
Grant funding for organisations experiencing financial or organisational difficulties. Examples of the challenges that this funding could assist in addressing include:
Resilience funding is time limited and we would expect grantees to address the underlying issues that created the need for resilience funding. As with the Project/Activity funding, we would also expect it to relate to HES’s grant outcomes.
