Carer Positive is a free Scottish Government funded initiative run by Carers Scotland. The aim is to encourage Scottish employers to support their staff with caring responsibilities, and is delivered in the form of a multi-level award. Carers Scotland is calling on third sector groups and organisations to join the initiative, so that more carers (and they as employers) can enjoy the benefits of a caring and supportive workplace.

Forth Valley College in Falkirk still has a large quantity of equipment and furniture from their old campus, available for free to local third sector groups and organisations (including charities, social enterprises, voluntary and community groups). These items are only available until end of play TODAY, Friday 6th March, and there is no provision for storage or delivery, so groups will need to organise a way to collect their items. Access to the campus is by appointment only. Groups will also need to provide proof that they are part of the third sector, such as letterheaded paper, or business cards.

Our team at CVS Falkirk are delighted to announce that we will be launching our new CVS Falkirk Funding Portal at next Tuesday’s Falkirk Funders Fayre.

Once registered, users will be able to search for a range of different funding opportunities, across local and national organisations. Those attending Falkirk Funders Fayre will be able to sign up to the portal on the day, and receive a demonstration, along with early access to the portal’s Funding Insight bulletin!
