“After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements.”
Significant events
- “We reinforced our position as the lead agency for volunteering in Scotland. This was reflected in the positive results from our Stakeholder Survey.”
- “Our promotion of volunteering and the benefits of volunteering includes our pivotal role in leading national campaigns, the largest being Volunteers' Week - which takes place from the first Monday in June. We delivered a successful 40th anniversary campaign which included a rebrand and in person launch event.”
- “This last year has seen Volunteer Scotland deliver added value for our funders - leading on the Volunteering Action Plan and delivering an effective disclosure service whilst supporting the introduction of the Disclosure (Scotland) Act (2020).”
