CEMVO Scotland

Improving the quality of life for all ethnic minority communities through improving access to social welfare, social justice, health, employment, housing, education and social enterprise

CEMVO Scotland is a national intermediary organisation and strategic partner of the Scottish Government Equality Unit.

Aims:

Their aim is to build the capacity and sustainability of the ethnic minority (EM) voluntary sector and its communities.  Since being established in 2003, they have developed a database network of over 600 ethnic minority voluntary sector organisations throughout Scotland to which they deliver a wide range of programmes that provide capacity building support to the sector.

Mission:

Underpinned by race equality, CEMVO Scotland’s mission is to level the playing field for Scotland’s ethnic minority voluntary sector and its communities.  We will do this by:

  • building capacity and mobilising skills in organisations and their people;
  • fostering both individual and collective leadership;
  • enabling active participation in community, democratic and civic life; and
  • working strategically to raise the profile of and create opportunities for the sector.

All of our work will contribute to a Scottish society where ethnic minority communities’ contribution is recognised for its part in making Scotland a successful country.
