It’s easy to register for funded support
What if I’m not eligible?
If you are not eligible for funded support you can access our services but there will likely be a cost. Before paying for support you may want to check if your local Third Sector Interface can provide any help for free. If you are unsure if you are eligible, or need any other advice please email sectordev@gcvs.org.uk.

Your questions answered
- How do I know if I am eligible for funded support in Glasgow?
This support is only for third/voluntary sector organisations operating in the Glasgow City local authority area. You must apply for approval by clicking “Register for Funded Support.” To proceed, please fill in your organisation name and click Sign Up. Then go to your cart and proceed to checkout, where you will be asked to complete the short eligibility application. - Why do I have to create an account?
Creating an account lets us check your eligibility once. Following your approval, you will have continued access to whatever support, training and resources are suitable, all of which will be shown with the correct discounts for you. - Why does it ask for my organisation’s details?
The first person creating an account for an organisation ‘owns’ the account and can invite other team members to join. We recommend discussing this with your team and using your group or generic mailbox, such as an ‘info@’ email for your organisation so that access is shared by those using that mailbox. - Not sure if your organisation is already registered?
Please ask your colleagues, and if so, the person who registered can add you to the team. If you’re unsure, please email sectordev@gcvs.org.uk and we can check for you. - Who is my approver?
When you create an account to access funded support in Glasgow this will come to our sector development team at sectordev@gcvs.org.uk. The team will review your application and get back to you as soon as possible with an approval, or to request further information on the contact details you provide. - How do I change my account details
Please contact sectordev@gcvs.org.uk and we’ll edit access for your organisation. We can also tell you if someone’s already registered for your organisation. - Why am I waiting for approval?
We are funded to support eligible organisations in Glasgow, with restrictions that mean applications need to be checked by a member of our team. It doesn’t take long, but please bear with us while we confirm your eligibility. We will aim to approve your account within 3 working days – sooner if we can.
