This project aims to help VCSE groups across Scotland and Northern Ireland better understand their strengths and areas for development. Over three years it will pilot the Core Capacity Assessment Tool (CCAT), an online diagnostic tool developed in the United States, with 100 groups in NI and 100 in Scotland. There will also be follow up surveys 18 months later. This will build up a longitudinal dataset and inform and evaluate the impact of capacity building support from funders and other organisations.
