CVS chief executive Karen Herbert said: “It is apparent that there is a reliance on the third sector to fulfil the many roles and services our communities need.

“Through their document Creating A Fairer Scotland, the Scottish Government believes that we can make our communities an even better place to live. The support of the third sector can help build a fairer, more equal society.”

The conference is being held on Wednesday, February 10 at Forth Valley College from 9am-4pm.
