Practical Project Management

EVOC (Edinburgh Voluntary Organisations’ Council) has been supporting the people and communities of Edinburgh since 1868. Our vision is for people in Edinburgh to live in an equitable, sustainable and resilient city, supported by a thriving third sector. Our purpose is to serve the needs of people and communities across Edinburgh by supporting our members and third sector organisations to be effective and drive the change they need. We will specialise in information gathering and sharing, research, analysis, advocacy and relationship management, to deliver impact for our members, funders and the wider community in Edinburgh.
