About Us

CTSI is a ‘single door’ access point for a wide range of support and services for charitable organisations, community and voluntary action groups, volunteering and social enterprise in Clackmannanshire.

Our four key functions are:

Building capacity – Voice of the Sector – Source of Knowledge –  Connecting Partners

Our goal is to provide help and support to people living in Clackmannanshire who want advice on running or starting any type of charitable, social enterprise or voluntary group, as well as volunteering and community work. We act as a one-stop-shop for all issues related to community development, governance,  funding advice, health and social care information and volunteering. If you need any specific advice, or don’t know where to start, get in touch.

CTSI also acts as a strategic voice of the third sector at community planning partnership meetings and on the Health and Social Care Integration Joint Board, to ensure representation for member organisations is informed and valued.

We also offer other services to the third sector, including e-bulletin promotion, events and relevant training through our TSI learning portal.

Vision and Strategic Aims

Volunteering Approach to a Wellbeing Economy 2025/26 – Plan on a page

In September 2018, the new TSI Outcomes Framework was launched, co-produced with the TSI Scotland Network and Scottish Government Third Sector Unit. The new Framework allows TSIs to develop their own local strategic plans around the key areas of work and within a set of six outcome framework areas.

  1. People are more involved in their community
  2. Improved cross sector collaboration
  3. Third sector organisations are better able to lead and develop shared agendas
  4. Third sector organisations are better able to respond to local need
  5. Key decision making includes third sector input
  6. Third sector organisations are better able to contribute to a strong and inclusive local social economy

The full TSI Outcomes Framework can be viewed here.

TSI Scotland Network

The TSI Scotland Network is made up of 32 partnership and single door TSIs who work across communities of Scotland to support the third sector on the ground.

Together they aim to support Scottish Government and influence critical thinking and future policy development for the third sector including charities, development trusts, community and voluntary groups, social enterprises and volunteering. The Chief Officers meet monthly and work collaboratively with a wide number of intermediary bodies including SCVO, DTSA, Volunteering Scotland, SENScot and Social Enterprise Scotland.

They have produced a Manifesto for Change and further details can be found on the website at www.tsi.scot or via twitter @TSIScotNet.
