Thanks to the ACVO E-Bulletin, Grampian Society for the Blind are the very proud owners of a brand new Ford Galaxy (pictured above) thanks to a successful application to the Lloyds TSB Foundation for Scotland’s 21st Birthday Awards Scheme, which was advertised in the bulletin.  Fundraising Co-ordinator for The Society Neil Skene said “if it had not been for the ACVO Bulletin which I read each week, I would not have known about this special one off award that Lloyds Foundation had set up to celebrate their 21^st anniversary, so for me the 10 minutes it takes to read the bulletin each week is well worth it”.  He continued “in fact, at the end of the week, I like nothing more than to sit back with a strong cup of coffee and listen to my screen reader read the PDF file from start to finish, it’s not quite the highlight of my week, but it really aids me in winding down and preparing for the weekend !  He added finally, “I always read it and apart from the Lloyds fund, there are lots of possible funding opportunities covered and obviously being a Fundraiser I pay particular attention to them, but I find all the articles interesting as it is full of information which can indirectly impact on local organisations”.

Just a short note to say thanks for the continued good and valued work of the e-bulletin. Who'd have thought that this would be going from success to success and strength to strength when we first discussed this a few years ago.  It just goes to show how much of a chord this has struck with more and more folk over the years. Thank you again for all you have done for me and others over all these years - much appreciated.  Mike Scott, Chair, Scottish Development Centre for Mental Health.

“We have received bookings for our Core training courses thanks to advertising in the Bulletin, it’s a great resource as it reaches a wide audience across the Voluntary Sector” Clare Trembleau, Inspire
