REPORT ... CHRIS WHITE, CHAIRPERSON Aberdeenshire has experienced many changes during this recent period, meaning that people and communities have had to adapt in ways we hadn’t imagined beforehand. AVA was previously operating under the assumption that following the pandemic, the third sector had to survive before it could revive and hopefully thrive, but for different reasons, many groups are still at the ‘survive’ stage and some are unfortunately struggling to do so under complex and changing conditions. Others have revived and some are thriving, but just as we are seeing growing inequalities across society, we are in many ways seeing a similar trend across the third sector groups and organisations that we are working with on a day-to-day basis. AVA is working hard to help reduce these inequalities by providing knowledgeable and detailed support in both reactive and proactive ways that are having positive impacts for the groups that engage with us. AVA’s team often feels these struggles at a personal level because they are individually invested in supporting a thriving third sector which drives their passion for what they do, and this makes them a team that I and my fellow Directors are proud to work with and support. Seeing AVA grow in a sustainable way, and be able to offer additional capacity to groups in need of support has been particularly fulfilling for The Board, and seeing the impact that the support has had for groups across the communities that we live in makes AVA’s work something to be very proud of. AVA made some strategic financial decisions during the year, with the key one being to exit the property inhabited by the Third Sector Interface part of the operation, meaning that the resource could be diverted into service development and delivery, including offering free access to a comprehensive online training platform for AVA member organisations, and AVA // 3 ANNUAL REPORT 2022
