Community and Voluntary Sector

The Community and Voluntary Sector is increasingly central to providing public services in Scotland. Although it does not have a UNISON Service Group, there is a Voluntary and Community Sector Committee at Scottish and UK level, recognising the important role of members who work for projects that have Local Government and Health Service links.

Aberdeenshire branch has many members in the Community and Voluntary Sector working for a range of different organisations.

Voice at Work is the Bulletin for all Community and Voluntary Sector members. It is sent to members in the Community and Voluntary Sector, and can also be accessed on line.

Some of the main issues which are facing the Community and Voluntary Sector both locally and across Scotland are funding and pay and grading. UNISON Scotland is also looking at how best to provide a representation and organising service within the Community and Voluntary Sector.
