NEWS: Charity Bank Edinburgh Event
26 August 2019
Charity Bank is inviting trustees, directors, CEOs and managers of charities, social enterprises and community organisations in Edinburgh to sign up for a free event on 12th September.
The Road to Growth event will be hosted at the Greyfriars Charteris Centre (EH9 9RR) from 09.00-12.00 and will provide attendees with the latest insight on the state of the social sector at a time of change and challenge.
The Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations (SCVO) will present an update on the state of the sector and then local and national sector specialists will engage with the audience in unpicking some of the challenges and opportunities that exist. Attendees will hear from the Development Trusts Association Scotland (DTAS), MacRoberts LLP, Edinburgh Voluntary Organisations’ Council (EVOCO) and other leading social sector experts.
Panelists will share research and insights on the state of the sector, how political and Brexit uncertainty are impacting the sector, examples of how charities and social enterprises are responding, as well as the latest on grants and funding, regulation, technology and governance.
Attendees will leave with practical insight and guidance to help their organisations survive and thrive in a changing world.

The events will also act as an opportunity for delegates to network with like-minded peers who have similar goals. We’re really looking forward to meeting individuals in Edinburgh who are at the forefront of social change.”
