What is THRE?

THRE – Third Sector Human Rights and Equalities, is a new nationwide project led by GCVS in partnership with HTSI and EVOC.

​

Scotland’s Third Sector Interfaces (TSIs) are developing resources, training and networks to support third sector organisations towards taking a human rights and equalities first approach to their organisational development and delivery.

​

THRE will also be working to give organisations and individuals the skills to become human rights and equalities champions, allowing the sector as a whole to better challenge inequalities and make a positive difference.

THRE aims to act as a bridge connecting Scotland’s innovative and thriving third sector to the country’s existing internationally recognised human rights and equalities sector and help to deliver the Scottish Government’s vision for a Scotland that is inclusive, free from discrimination, and where the human rights of everyone are respected, protected, and fulfilled.

​

Staff based in Glasgow, Edinburgh and the Highlands will work with their local TSIs to give the project national reach combined with a local understanding of the needs of the third sector across Scotland.

THRE is funded by The Scottish Government Equality and Human Rights Fund which is managed by Inspiring Scotland.
