VASLan: Moving to Action

News Date

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.

Second Year of Communities Mental Health and Wellbeing Fund

News Date

We are proud to act as funding lead for South Lanarkshire. We will continue to work with local partners in managing and distributing the funding to organisations and community groups that promote and develop mental health and wellbeing.

The fund will be open to third sector organisations, community groups, and partnerships in South Lanarkshire who are Members of VASLan.
