The Scottish COuncil for Voluntary Organisations (SCVO) has launched the “Voluntary
Management Essentials website.”
The site, a sub-section of the SCVO Web site, says
that it offers “a wide range of free, reliable information on all aspects of setting
up and running a voluntary organisation in Scotland.”

The resource has been made possible by a grant from the New Opportunities Fund which
has enabled SCVO to digitise much of its information that was previously available
only on paper and accessible only in office hours. Voluntary Management Essentials
is one of nine projects participating in the Enrich Scotland project, a £6 million
lifelong learning project, which aims to support Scottish lifelong learning, citizenship
and cultural awareness.

The Toolkit features online versions of seven of SCVO’s paper publications on management.
Elsewhere the site is a little short on content with just three documents in the
briefings section and no documents at all available in the directories section. 
Also the fundraising element in the Frequently Asked Questions section consists 
solely of a few paragraphs on holding street collections.

No doubt the site will grow over time, but it is usually worth trying to make a 
good impression when announcing a Web resource. This site doesn’t achieve that for
us.
