Third Sector Dumfries and Galloway Our vision for our place in Scotland - A Dumfries and Galloway built on community, connection and opportunity, where everyone can feel they belong.

The third sector is made up of organisations that are neither public nor private sector. It includes voluntary and community organisations such as registered charities, associations, self-help groups, community groups, social enterprises, mutuals and co-operatives. Our vision is:

To improve the quality of life of the most vulnerable and disadvantaged individuals and communities in Dumfries and Galloway. This page will aim to project and promote the voice of the third sector, including volunteers and volunteer involving organisations. In order that we can speak with one voice Third Sector Dumfries and Galloway is a membership organisation with charitable status. Membership is open to all third sector organisations operating in Dumfries and Galloway. The members elect a Board of Trustees who are entrusted with our governance; setting our strategy; with ensuring that we are well managed and inclusive; and that we communicate effectively with all of our stakeholders.

🎃♻️ Green Libraries Week may be drawing to a close, but there’s still time to Scare, Share and Wear.

As we mark the final day of Green Libraries Week, one simple way to keep the spirit of reuse going is to give a pre-loved Halloween costume another outing.

Until 31 October, you can donate, swap or simply take a costume from our Scare, Share and Wear rails at:

👻 Ewart Library, Dumfries
👻 Stranraer Library
👻 Kirkconnel Library
👻 Lockerbie Library
👻 Dalbeattie Library

No costume to swap? No problem – you can simply take one.

A greener Halloween and another chance for a costume to scare. 🎃
