Developing Numeracy For the Workplace

About Us

GCVS supports the voluntary sector to succeed and meet the needs of local communities. We do this by providing a wide range of services, training and opportunities for community groups, charities, voluntary organisations and social enterprises.

Our team works in partnership with organisations and agencies who share our commitment to tackle poverty and inequality, to create opportunities for all citizens of Glasgow. We are also engaged in work across a wide range of policy agendas and are a key partner in the Glasgow Third Sector Interface Network. Additionally, our Albany building provides a central venue for us to host events for the sector and offer space for others to meet.

Our Vision is for Glasgow’s citizens and communities to flourish, with the help of a strong voluntary sector.

Our Values are to be innovative, driven and brave in the work that we do, aiming to achieve the best for the city, while demonstrating integrity, kindness and respect in how we treat people.

Our Mission is to develop and promote the role of communities and the voluntary sector in building a fairer, kinder and happier society. We exist to challenge unfairness and bring people together to address it.

Our Aims

We provide support, advice and training for the voluntary sector to build their capacity and take a leading role in helping communities. GCVS acts as an ‘honest broker’, working with both the public and the voluntary sectors to devise innovative ways of working, without participating in the delivery of public services.
