Question reference: S6W-17732

Asked by: Monica Lennon, MSP for Central Scotland, Scottish Labour
Date lodged: Thursday, 04 May 2023
Current Status: Answered by Shirley-Anne Somerville on 15 May 2023

To ask the Scottish Government whether it can provide an updated list of the names of the (a) charities, (b) groups, (c) individuals and (d) office bearers appointed to the Third Sector Interface (TSI) Scotland Network.

The TSI Scotland Network is not a formally constituted group; it is a grouping of organisations with a shared purpose namely the TSIs. It does not have Office Bearers.

Some TSIs are partnerships where the role is shared across two or more organisations, others are single entities. Most of the organisations which form TSIs are registered charities, and often they are also registered companies. More information about the Network can be found at www.tsi.scot .

A list of the organisations which make up the TSI Network is given in the following table.
