  • Promote and support the sector.
  • Represent the sector at national and local government levels.
  • Provide training and consultancy for voluntary & community groups on a range of issues.
  • Help access funding for new and existing groups.

Changing the world can be hard, but we can help.

We have four development officers who support, promote and represent the voluntary sector in Perth and Kinross. They are in contact with some 800 local groups and have helped a portion of these groups start up or become registered charities. The support services provided are free of charge.
