About Us
As a charity and a social enterprise ourselves, we are a values driven organisation. These values are below:-
32 organisations in Scotland have a mandate from the Scottish Government to deliver a TSI remit. Some of these organisations are mainly focussed on their roles as TSI’s, while for others, the TSI remit is only a very small part of what they do within the voluntary and community space. What they have in common is that they deliver their TSI roles in line with the Scottish Government’s Third Sector Interface Outcome Framework.
This document, published in September 2018, sets out clearly the strategic leadership role TSI’s have in their local communities and the activity that is funded by Scottish Government.
There are 4 aspects to our role;
In Argyll & Bute the TSI does not receive contributions to our core funding from either the council or the HSCP.
Some organisations that hold TSI contracts also deliver projects; we currently deliver one project, called 1000 Voices, which is funded until March 2021 to prevent social isolation in those over 65 throughout Argyll and Bute. 1000 Voices runs in Campbeltown, Dunoon, Helensburgh, Islay, Lochgilphead and Oban. Each area has it's own facebook page, please follow the links to see what is going in your area.
