This is the first time Charities Evaluation Services has delivered PQASSO training in Scotland, and the 4 day programme which took place in Perth was enjoyed by candidates and tutors alike. One candidate commented “I was surprised how interesting the course was. It gave me a chance to consider other aspects of our voluntary groups and to see how, with a little help, they could be strengthening their organisations.”

The 6 licensed PQASSO mentors are Craig Crossthwaite, CVS North Ayrshire; Ian Bruce, CVS Inverclyde; Philippa Lyttle, VC Dundee; Kelly Miller, CVS Inverclyde; Muriel Young, CVS Falkirk and David Robertson,West Dunbartonshire CVS. We wish them well as they introduce PQASSO and deliver training and support to their local voluntary sector.

For information about this project, and opportunities for participation, contact Jethro Jeffery at West Dunbartonshire CVS.
