We need your help! As East Lothian’s Third Sector Interface (TSI) and representative body, we are regularly asked for insights on the health and challenges of the third sector by public authorities, including the council, NHS Lothian, and the Scottish Government.

Now, more than ever, third sector organisations need to demonstrate their impact. To support you, VCEL has commissioned Evaluation Support Scotland (ESS) to deliver their ‘Introduction to the Basics of Self-Evaluation’ training.
