Your questions answered
- How do I know if I am eligible for discounts such as the funded Glasgow offer?
This support is only for third/voluntary sector organisations operating in Glasgow City. You must apply for approval by clicking “Apply 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. - 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. - Why am I waiting for approval?
We are funded to support eligible organisations in Glasgow, as discussed here, with restrictions that mean applications needs 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.
