Volunteer Scotland Launch New Knowledge Gateway
Created: 28/04/2026
News/Events Category: Volunteering
Volunteer Scotland is delighted to announce the official launch of the Knowledge Gateway, a new central hub designed to strengthen volunteering practice, development, and impact across Scotland.
The launch follows a successful soft launch phase shaped extensively by user feedback and real-time testing. Insight from volunteer involving organisations has been vital in building a platform that reflects the needs, challenges, and aspirations of the sector.
The Knowledge Gateway brings together a wide range of practical guidance, tools, training opportunities and insights. It offers dedicated support for developing and managing volunteering programmes, alongside opportunities for learning and professional development through training and events. Users will find resources that help organisations demonstrate best practice and promote inclusive, positive volunteering experiences, including access to the national Employer Supported Volunteering Framework.
The Knowledge Gateway also highlights a range of trusted partners providing expert sector support and offers access to bespoke one‑to‑one development services for organisations seeking more tailored guidance. A new Volunteering Practitioner Community will also be introduced soon, creating a dedicated space for practitioners to connect, share insights, and learn from one another.
