CVS Inverness have produced a report profiling the third sector in Inverness-shire. The report is the culmination of a database update project we have been working on throughout the summer. As a result of this, we have been able to produce this report, showing a breakdown of areas of activity, finances, volunteering and staffing levels and geographical reach amongst others.
The report is available to download by clicking on the link below. More information is available on the Voluntary Sector Page.

On the back of the database update project, we have also produced a series of categorised directories of organisations operating locally.
For more information please see the Third Sector Directory page.

Mapping out the Third Sector (Press Release)
Over the next 18 months, all televisions in the UK will need to be retuned, or equipment will need to be purchased, as the analogue TV signal is switched off in favour of digital TV.
If you live in Inverness, the Great Glen, or East Ross, then it is likely you receive your TV signal from the Rosemarkie TV mast on the Black Isle. If so, your analogue signal will turn off in October of this year – 2010.
CVS Inverness realises that many people will be unaware or unsure of how this will affect them, and that many groups of people that organisations are involved with will need help and guidance.
We are here to help. We will be running training events for groups and individuals, and the CVS Inverness will be a drop-in centre if you wish to find out more. We have materials and advice on how to make sure nobody is left behind when the time comes.
We will be contacting groups individually, but would like to hear from you if you would like to find out more or get involved. Please contact our Digital TV Switchover Coordinator at john@cvsinverness.org.uk
