Tory manifesto welcome boost for third sector

Annabel Goldie today unveiled the Scottish Conservatives Manifesto at the Glasgow Science Centre.

Commenting on the Scottish Conservative manifesto, Martin Sime, Chief Executive of the Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations said:

“It’s great to see the Scottish Tories addressing the concerns of charities, voluntary organisations and social enterprises in their manifesto and not simply paying lip service to the idea of the big society.

“A commitment to transforming the potential of the third sector by giving us a “right-to-bid” for services, multi-year funding for the third sector and tackling red tape, really shows that the Tories recognise that for Scotland to have a successful future, it needs a thriving third sector.”

“We look forward to seeing the detail of how the party will support our sector financially as we take on a greater role in delivering excellent public services.”
