Third sector staff on our SVQ programme
While working for Street Connect, Adam has undertaken several qualifications with GCVS, including SVQs in Health and Social Care, and Management, and a PDA in Leadership.

The impact of Paid Work Placements
A few words of thanks from others we’ve supported
GCVS Member
“In a city as big as Glasgow, you can often feel overwhelmed by the amount that is going on. GCVS is such a valuable resource when it comes to sourcing information and finding opportunities to connect with others.”
Payroll Customer
“GCVS provide a payroll service that allows us to get on with running our business without having to deal with the added burden of dealing with HMRC and Pension companies. We have always had a very professional service.”
Network Member
“I value time with other key partners and being introduced to new services.
This would be difficult without services like GCVS pulling us together.”
Charity Organisation
“The funding surgery was particularly helpful, especially insights on aligning the application with tackling poverty and inequality. Application reviews make a real difference easing the pressure of being a sole fundraiser in a small organisation.”
Our Subscribers
