VSGWL is the Third Sector Interface (TSI) operating in West Lothian. Our primary purpose is to promote, develop and support West Lothian’s Third Sector. We are a membership organisation of locally based charities, social enterprises and volunteer-led community organisations. We aim to strengthen the third-sector and strengthen partnerships that deliver real change by connecting people, ideas and resources.We work in partnership with the whole voluntary sector and key statutory and public stakeholders to improve the lives of individuals and communities across in West Lothian.There are 32 TSIs in Scotland, one for each Local Authority Area. The TSI Scotland Network comes together regularly to share best practice and knowledge to support the wider sector across Scotland. The national vision for TSIs is ‘Resilient and empowered communities creating a stronger, fairer and more equitable Scotland with a thriving third sector at its heart‘.
