Will the EIJB Health & Social Care funding decisions affect your projects’ volunteers? Volunteer Edinburgh is keen to hear from you …
Following the announcement of the successful applicants to the Health and Social Care Grants programme in December, we know that a number of previously funded projects were not successful.
While we totally understand the current pressures that these project are under at the moment, we are very keen to try and quantify the impact on volunteering following the loss of these valued and important services.
If your project is impacted by the decisions of the EIJB and your project currently involves volunteers we would really like to hear from you.
