We are delighted to be joined by speakers who will address the following questions: 

  • How does the budget impact on the wider economic picture for Scotland, and what might this mean for charities? Mairi Spowage, Director, Fraser of Allander Institute 
  • How does the budget directly impact on voluntary organisations? Sheghley Ogilvie, Policy and Public Affairs Officer, SCVO 
  • How does the budget impact on local government, and how might this affect voluntary organisations? Mirren Kelly, Chief Officer, Local Government Finance, COSLA 

Participants will be able to submit questions using the chat function throughout the event, and chair David Livey, Policy and Public Affairs Manager, SCVO, will put a selection of these to the panel.
