Title: Quality - other Organisations

'The Big Picture'

The 'Big Picture' is produced by the Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations (SCVO) and is a tool to help voluntary organisations improve the quality of their work. It is unique in that it has been designed by voluntary organisations for use by voluntary organisations.

Some people may wish to use the 'Big Picture' in a structured fashion and it has been produced to allow you to do this, others may prefer to 'pick and choose' making use of the parts that are relevant to them.

The 'Big Picture' is available, price £76, by calling SCVO on 0131 556 3882 or from:
