    This will be a free interactive facilitated event promoting dialogue between academics and voluntary sector practitioners, policy makers and other stakeholders from a broad range of third sector organisations.

    Following the wide-ranging events that take place during Volunteer Week in Scotland in the first week of June, this full-day event will cast a critical eye over the many facets of impact that relate to the third sector in Scotland.

    This research symposium is jointly hosted by The Voluntary Sector Studies Network (VSSN) and the Third Sector Research Forum (hosted by Evaluation Support Scotland), the University of Glasgow, Youth Link Scotland, Volunteer Scotland and Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations (SCVO).

    Themes for the day include:

    • The impact of volunteering and the third sector in different settings, including health, wellbeing and the wellbeing economy
    • The impact of small community organisations and place-based volunteering
    • How does the sector navigate working with the local grassroots communities?
    • How to measure the value of the sector and to understand the place of evaluations and measuring impact in the third sector
    • The impact of doing research in collaboration with volunteering organisations and the impact of community led research on research values and ethics
