Open to organisations across all regions
Volunteer Centre East Lothian (VCEL) is hosting a Meet the Funder webinar focused on the NHS Lothian Community Benefit Gateway (CBG). While the session is delivered by VCEL, it is open to third sector and community organisations across Scotland, not just East Lothian.
The Community Benefit Gateway is a free and easy-to-use online service that connects NHSScotland suppliers with third sector and community organisations. It is designed to help ensure that community benefit opportunities linked to NHS contracts support meaningful local and national impact.
By registering with the Community Benefit Gateway, organisations can access practical support and opportunities that contribute to community-focused activity. The Community Benefit Gateway supports a wide range of initiatives, including (this list is not exhaustive):
-
Work placement opportunities
-
Volunteering projects
-
Provision of professional advice
-
Assistance with building or improving community facilities
-
Environmental proposals
-
Learning and skills projects
The webinar will provide an overview of how the Community Benefit Gateway works, who can register, and how organisations can make the most of the opportunities available through the platform.
This session will be of interest to third sector organisations, community groups, and charities from all regions looking to explore new ways of working with NHSScotland suppliers and strengthen community benefit outcomes.
Further details, including how to register for the webinar, are available via the Volunteer Centre East Lothian website.
