Season's Greetings!
We would like to let you know that VASLan staff will be taking days off throughout the festive season. Our office and phone-line will be closed on Thursday, 22nd December 2022 at 5.00 pm.
We will be back up to speed on Wednesday, 4th January 2023 at 9.00 am.
On Wednesday the 30th of November, VASLan had the inaugural meeting of the South Lanarkshire Social Enterprise Network. It has been a long time coming and we look forward to events in the future. The network will be a valuable vehicle for progress and growth across South Lanarkshire.
We are excited to finally be in a position to launch the South Lanarkshire Social Enterprise Network and we have listened to what you want and are having the first meeting in-person.
SLSEN is a membership network of South Lanarkshire social enterprise leaders who believe that social enterprise can transform the economic, environmental, social, and cultural life of South Lanarkshire. By supporting, promoting and developing social enterprise we aim to create an environment in South Lanarkshire in which social enterprises are able to flourish.
We are absolutely delighted to be launching our new strategy for 2022 to 2024, ‘Moving to Action’.
Our previous strategy ended in 2020, and whilst around 65% to 70% was achieved, we perhaps fell a bit short in a few areas, including our approach to volunteering, and to social enterprise. Through the pandemic, we have been playing our part in supporting South Lanarkshire’s third sector emergency response, our sector stepping up when our communities needed it.
Following the announcement of the second year of Communities Mental Health and Wellbeing Fund in May 2022, VASLan, Third Sector Interface for South Lanarkshire, is proud to continue taking the role of funding lead for the South Lanarkshire area.
