The Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations (SCVO) has said Farha Jamadar will take up the role.

She was appointed after Fiona Gillespie made the decision to step down as treasurer, though she will continue as a trustee until her term is up in December.

Farha is a senior chartered global management accountant within the commercial and construction industry, with a passion for charity.

An advocate for the development of technology in the future of finance and the changes it brings, ensuring technology and information is utilised in the most impactful way possible.
