The SCVO Board is ultimately accountable to the BIG Lottery Fund for the Supporting Voluntary Action programme. Within programme parameters agreed with BIG Lottery Fund, it has delegated all decision making functions to the Supporting Voluntary Action Management Group.

The Supporting Voluntary Action Management Group comprises four elected representatives of the CVS network, the SCVO Director of Networks and representatives of public sector partners to the programme. The Management Group will meet a minimum of four times per year and reach decisions by consensus rather than by majority vote.  Papers for the SVA MG are available online.  Click here and scroll down to the document manager.
