Voluntary Action Angus , Angus Council and Dundee Social Enterprise Network have been working together to draft a new social enterprise strategy for Angus.

This is an important event where we can help identify: - What support do social enterprises need/want in Angus? - What support is currently potentially available in Angus? - What needs to happen to increase the growth of social enterprise in Angus? From 1pm to 2pm lunch will be provided and provide an opportunity to network with colleagues.

are currently recruiting volunteers to get in-volved in the design and development of our health and care improvement work, which co-vers the whole of Scotland. This opportunity is currently listed on our website.
Are you passionate about making care better in Scotland? Would you like to strengthen the voice of people who use health and social care services? Would you like to gain ex-perience volunteering?
If the answer to these questions is yes, then we have an exciting opportunity for you!
We are looking for volunteers, known as public partners, to help us make sure that peo-ple’s experiences of care are used to make care better. Our volunteers can be involved in lots of ways, such as:
helping us to make sure that people who are affected by decisions are involved in those decisions
collecting feedback about people’s care in various settings
reading public-facing publications to make sure they are accessible and easy to under-stand.
We are looking for volunteers with the ability to:
identify information most relevant to the decision at hand
express ideas clearly, concisely and sensitively
ask us challenging questions.
Training and support will be provided and expenses paid. You must be over 18 and live in Scotland to volunteer with us.
We particularly encourage interest from young people (aged 18-26), minority ethnic peo-ple, and lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans people, as these groups are underrepresented in our current volunteer pool.

The first recipients of a scholarship which aims to lead ground breaking research into a degenerative condition have been announced.
The Gordon Aikman Scholarship was set up in memory of the political researcher and campaigner to support individuals affected by
Motor Neuron Disease, or their carers, and healthcare professionals to research and develop practical improvements in the way people
with MND are cared for.
The fund, which is worth £50,000, is joint-funded by the charity MND Scotland and the Scottish Government.
The first two scholarships have been awarded to Alison Clarke, lead clinical nurse specialist in the long term ventilation service at the
Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow and Dianne Fraser, clinical specialist for Motor Neurone Disease, neurology department
at the Aberdeen Royal Infirmary.
Clarke will be looking at how best to introduce people with MND to non-invasive ventilation, for example bringing people into hospital or
training them in their own home, and to establish best practice across the country.
Fraser will investigate the potential of rolling out a technique for MND patients across Scotland, called breath stacking, which can reduce
distress when choking occurs, keep the lungs elastic and healthy, and may reduce hospital admissions.
Lawrence Cowan, chair of MND Scotland and a close friend of Aikman’s said: “Gordon transformed MND care in this country. With these
scholarships we want to inspire people to keep pushing boundaries and make a difference to the lives of people affected by MND.
“Gordon will always be my best friend. I miss him every day. But his memory lives on through the researchers and care professionals
working day in day out to fight this horrible disease.”
Joe Pike, Aikman’s husband, said: “It is incredibly exciting that Gordon’s work improving the lives of people with MND is continuing
through Alison and Dianne’s projects.
“Gordon transformed the care of MND patients in our country and these scholarships will now strengthen Scotland’s position as a centre
of world leading research.”
Fundraising Platform drops donor fee
Online giving platform GoFundMe has dropped the 5% fee it charged donors for using it.
It will, however, continue to charge a payment processing fee of 2.9%.
The US-based platform, which launched in the UK last year, said it now planned to rely on "voluntary tips" from donors to sustain its
service.
Rob Solomon, its chief executive, said: "As we’ve rolled this new model out in the US, we've had a huge amount of positive feedback
from our community.
"It’s a win-win move, and we think people in the UK will recognise the outstanding service we provide – and now we’re offering that
service for free."
The move makes GoFundMe the only major fundraising platform not to charge a platform fee.
Crowdfunder and JustGiving charge 5% while Virgin Money Giving charges 2%.
JustGiving and Virgin fees are taken from the Gift Aid they claim on donations for the charity.
GoFundMe allows individuals and charities to set up fundraising campaigns.
JustGiving and Virgin Money Giving have paid-for facilities allowing charities to set up a page on their sites, receive money from others’
fundraising pages on the charity’s behalf and run multiple pages and campaigns.
