Scottish charities receive ”improved office space”
Those working for charities and voluntary groups north of the border may be set to benefit from improved office facilities, it has been reported.
The Melting Point, a start-up served office provider based in Edinburgh, has recently received funding from the Scottish government to help it provide desk space and internet access to third sector organisations and social enterprises that are in need of such facilities on an ad-hoc basis, Choregus reports.
Claire Carpenter, founder of the Melting Point, noted that "this was something I needed that didn”t exist".
She added: "I have often worked from home as I have mostly worked for groups without a permanent base here and it is a lonely thing to do."
Such news could be of interest to those charities that are looking to improve their skills framework.
Meanwhile, research by the Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations revealed that 48 per cent of charities in Scotland claimed that funding over the course of 2008 was at the same level as that received during 2007.
More skills framework information.
