02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Argyll and Bute Third Sector Interface (ABTSI) exists to support, represent and strengthen the third sector across Argyll and Bute. We work with charities, voluntary organisations, social enterprises, community groups and volunteers to help them deliver services that improve wellbeing, reduce inequality and build resilient communities. We do this by providing practical support and advice on governance, funding, volunteering, employability and organisational development, and by acting as a key link between the third sector and statutory partners. ABTSI also leads and administers funding programmes on behalf of the Scottish Government and other partners, distributing grants that support mental health, wellbeing, climate action and community development across the region.
