New edition looks ahead to the Holyrood elections and much, much more
If you’ve not noticed by now, you will very soon: even though it’s not till next May, we are now well and truly into an election campaign.
This month’s TFN serves as the starting point for our coverage of next May’s Holyrood poll.
In it, we look at a landmark report on women’s political representation and the barriers that are faced. Its publication couldn’t be more timely.
We also feature an interview around SCVO’s election manifesto, and the group’s asks from Scotland’s political parties.
On manifestos, at TFN we have been collecting voluntary sector and civil society manifestos as they come in and aim to publish them soon.
This is how we did it in 2021 and how we are planning to do it again – please contact myself at graham.martin@scvo.scot if you want to be included.
Elsewhere in a packed mag, we drill into some of the hideous figures around the killing of humanitarian aid workers. The scale of what’s going on is truly horrific.
On a different tack, we take a look at how volunteering helped – literally – to build a nation. This was a whole period of history I had never heard about before and it’s fascinating. I urge you to take a look.
You will find all of that and much more in this month as well as TFN's usual line up of excellent columnists and features.
And don’t forget - if you work for a member or supporter organisation, why not set up an account so you can access members only content such as the full archive, TFN app and exclusive content.
