Make sure you don’t miss out on free support, discounts or benefits.
Whether you are a small group run by volunteers or a larger charitable organisation, we want to support your sustainability. Our website accounts, memberships and subscriptions help us do that.
Funded Support for Glasgow
Free training and advice for eligible organisations
If your group or organisation operates in Glasgow, please complete a quick eligibility check for easy access to our services. One approval system unlocks our funded support, including free training opportunities and one-to-one funding and governance advice. Click the button to apply.
GCVS Membership
Be part of a community and enjoy additional benefits
GCVS members are a recognised community of organisations that believe in being well-run, well-connected, and driven to achieve more for Glasgow. Full details of the benefits, discounts and pricing are available online with free membership available for organisations with no paid staff. Click the button to find out more.
Please note that GCVS Membership does not automatically include access to our funded support in Glasgow which requires a separate eligibility check.
Subscription Services
The best way to access the services you need
You can subscribe to our HR and Health & Safety Advice Services online. This provides access to discounts, our extensive resource suite, and new account tools. Please click the button to find out more about our services.
Creating Your Account
Whether starting with funded support, membership or a subscription service, please ask an authorised person from your organisation to create your account. Once that account is set up and verified, you’ll gain access to the account benefits.
Don’t forget to add your team members! One of the great features of your account is the ability to invite other members of your organisation to join. This then allows them to access content and discounts independently. You can find this feature on your Dashboard.
If you think someone in your organisation might have already created an account but don’t know who they are, please get in touch with us at information@gcvs.org.uk.

Find out more in our FAQs
How do I know if I am eligible for discounts such as the funded Glasgow offer?
On our funded-support page you will find details of who is eligible and the link to apply for approval. To proceed, please fill in your organisation name and click Sign Up. Then go to your cart and proceed to checkout when 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
To make any changes to your account, login using the red button in the top right of the screen. This button changes to ‘members’ if you’re already logged in. In your account dashboard you will see you can edit your details, such as Manage Profile, Saved Address, etc.
How do I change the approver for our organisation, e.g. if they have left?
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.
