Third Sector Interface

Third Sector Interfaces (TSIs) are the local infrastructure support for the third sector in Scotland. Funded by the Scottish Government, Interfaces provide a single point of access for support and information for the third sector within the local area. As the Third Sector Interface for Perth & Kinross, the TSI advocates the interests of the third sector in local statutory partnerships and joint working initiatives.

PKAVS Third Sector Interface can help any type of third sector organisation or group. These often include charities, social enterprises and community groups. We also help individual people who are looking to learn more about the third sector, move forward with a project for their area of cause or who are looking to find out about volunteering.
