THRE - Third Sector Human Rights & Equalities

THRE - Third Sector Human Rights and Equalities is a new nationwide project led by GCVS in partnership with HTSI and EVOC.

We are working with Scotland’s Third Sector Interface organisations (TSIs) to develop resources, training and networks to support third sector organisations towards taking a human rights and equalities first approach to their organisational development and delivery.

We will also be working to give organisations and individuals the skills to become human rights and equalities champions, allowing the sector as a whole to better challenge inequalities and make a positive difference.

We have staff based in Glasgow, Edinburgh and the Highlands who will work with their local TSIs to give the project national reach combined with a local understanding of the needs of the third sector across Scotland.

THRE is funded by The Scottish Government Equality and Human Rights Fund which is managed by Inspiring Scotland.
