CEO Update: February 2026

10 February 2026 By EVOC Comms Leave a Comment

We have officially passed the midway point between the winter solstice and the spring equinox. This shift toward longer days and returning light always brings me a sense of renewed energy and hope. In that spirit of growth, I want to provide an update on Edinburgh’s Third Sector Reference Group (TSRG) and an opportunity to help shape the sector’s voice.

Representing the Sector

You may already be familiar with the work of the TSRG. Established in late 2024, the Group ensures that when we sit at the table in civic forums, we aren’t just representing our own organisations we are representing the collective experiences, needs, and vision of our entire sector. It’s a dynamic, two-way process that make sure that the sector’s voice is heard where it matters most. It has been incredibly valuable to me during my first year in post.

Join the Next Phase

The TSRG is evolving, and the Group is looking for passionate people from across the third sector to join us for this next chapter. We have recently updated the Terms of Reference, and are now seeking new members to help drive the TSRG’s mission forward.  We need people willing to contribute their expertise and energy as the Group works together to shape decisions, amplify community voices and create positive change. You can find out more about this role and the commitment here.

If you have any questions or would like to “throw your hat in the ring”, please get in touch: [email protected]
