VCM - the future |
|

A joint statement written on behalf of the Board of Directors of MVSO and Volunteer Centre Moray:
Mainly due to the Scottish Government’s wish for each of Scotland’s 32 Local Authority Areas to develop a single interface to represent the Voluntary Sector, but also partly driven by the possibility of achieving savings within the two organisation, Moray Voluntary Service Organisation (MVSO) and the Volunteer Centre Moray (VCM) are presently working towards a merger.
Funding was made available by a governmental department to employ a firm of consultants called Avante to facilitate this process and to help clarify whether the needs of our ‘customers’ could be better met if this merger was arranged. With this in mind a steering group has been set up consisting of representatives from each board of directors along with a representative of the Scottish Government. This group will look closely at what the future needs of existing members and volunteers might be and also the prospective needs of new groups and individual volunteers. This means looking at how a single organisation could best be structured to effectively meet those needs and be fully fit for purpose.
If a single organisation is established, great care will be taken to achieve these objectives with the minimum possible impact on the voluntary sector while, at the same time, ensuring the organisation has the continued support of existing members. To help maintain this essential support we will keep members updated with regular progress reports.

Paws for Tea and help save an animal's life.
Fancy hopping off the treadmill of every day life to catch up with friends and help raise money for a great cause? Well why not press 'paws' and join the scores of people who have already signed up for The Blue Cross Tea Party on Friday May 14th.
Every cup of tea you pour will go towards helping the needy animals in our care. If you asked for £1 per cup, 14 cups could provide a vaccine to help prevent life-threatening diseases, 29 cups would cover the cost of neutering a dog coming into one of our centres and 90 cups could provide the veterinary care for a cat coming in for adoption.
Last year The Blue Cross raised a whopping £34,000 but with your help they could make 2010 even better.
Please register for your free Tea Party Host pack containing everything you need to organise your Tea Party including posters, invites and ideas for a tealicious event.
