Publication features invaluable expert commentary and an exclusive preview of in-depth research into what it's like to work in the voluntary sector

TFN’s Guide to Running a Charity of Social Enterprise 2025/26 is out now – and you can read it all here.

The publication has a special focus on what it’s like to work in Scotland’s voluntary sector right now and over the coming year.

It uses as its starting point unique workplace research conducted by SCVO which will be published in full next year.

But you can get an exclusive preview of the findings in the new Guide.

The survey set out to uncover how people from across the voluntary sector feel about their work - from frontline staff and volunteers to managers and senior leaders. It asked: what do you enjoy and value? What is less satisfying? How could you be better supported

It will help explore how employers might improve working environments and strengthen routes into voluntary sector careers, and TFN’s new Guide explores similar themes, with the input of experts from SCVO and beyond.

Feel free to share - 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.
