Important News from the Cash in your Pocket Team
Hi all…as some of you may be aware the CIYPP Team are no longer located within
ACVO. Cfine have provided accommodation / support to enable us to continue our
services while we work towards establishing ourselves within a more permanent
location hopefully for many years to come. This is at an advanced stage and we
should be able to provide an update before long.
Users of CIYPP services will largely be unaware of behind the scene operational transitional arrangements that are in place.
Appropriate mail forwarding/collection is operating effectively and we do not anticipate any significant disruption to the
flow of referrals either being received or forwarded for action.
Making a referral on the phone
Temporarily people using our old Phoneline Number 01224-686077 will hear a message asking them to redial:
07967432505
As soon as we have established our home and feel that we can with confidence provide a permanent Phoneline Number you
will be notified by e mail and we will immediately start the redistribution of our promotional and referral material containing
new contact information. The temporary number will remain operational until we are satisfied it is no longer in use.
Launch of the ACOSVO Women Leaders’ Network
We are excited to announce the launch of the ACOSVO Women Leaders’ Network,
a peer support network for women leaders in Scottish voluntary organisations.
We are celebrating this with a launch event and networking lunch on 9 June,
12pm-2pm in Edinburgh which will be the first in a series of engaging and inspiring
events.
The network was founded in March 2016 by a group of women who came together to explore opportunities to provide support
to women leaders in Scotland’s third sector. We were delighted to welcome Dorothy Dalton who shared her experience of
setting up Groundbreakers, a women’s network for Chief Officers south of the border. It was agreed that a network would be
highly beneficial to address barriers to women’s equality, progression, and success in the sector, and that a series of events
and activities would be developed with the aim of supporting this.
The role of the network will be to provide opportunities for women Chief Officers to network and learn from each other.
Further aims of the network will be to encourage and support women aspiring to become Chief Officers; connect with
women leaders across other sectors in Scotland; promote good practice with regards to gender equality in third sector
organisations; and to influence and help shape policy on these issues in Scotland’s wider public life.
The launch will be celebrated with a networking lunch on 9 June, 12pm-2pm, at Lindsays in Edinburgh. Please register here
to save your space.
