About this event

Join us for an informal Q&A session to learn more about the NHS Scotland Community Benefits Gateway (CBG) – a free online platform that connects NHS Scotland suppliers with third sector organisations across Scotland.

The platform makes it easy to connect community needs, submitted by third-sector organisations, with NHS Scotland suppliers. By linking suppliers with local needs, the Gateway aims to improve the economic, social, and environmental wellbeing of communities and reduce health inequalities.

Who should come along?

This session is for third sector organisations, charities, and community groups based in or working in the Greater Glasgow & Clyde health board area, who are interested in finding out how to register and submit a community need, and how the Gateway can help you access resources and support.

What to expect

  • A short overview of the Community Benefits Gateway and its purpose
  • Guidance on how to register and submit your community needs
  • Practical tips for making the most of the platform
  • Hear from a community organisation that has successfully applied through the Community Benefits Gateway and learn from their experience
  • An open Q&A session to answer your questions

Speakers 

GCVS Policy Team is hosting the event and we’ll be joined by: 

  • Angela Ingram from Health Improvement at NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde 
  • Brian Roach, Deputy Head of Procurement at NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde  
  • Gary Lindsay, Head of Grants & Strategic Fundraising at Early Years Scotland

  • Work placement opportunities 
  • Volunteering projects 
  • Professional advice 
  • Assistance with building or improving community facilities 
  • Environmental and biodiversity projects 
  • Lifelong learning initiatives
