Community Empowerment & Renewal Bill

Do you have a say in the way in which public services are delivered?  Does the voluntary sector get a fair hearing, and participate in planning for the future?  Can all this be improved?!

The Scottish Government is currently consulting on a Community Empowerment and Renewal Bill under three themes: Strengthening Community Participation, Unlocking Enterprising Community Development, and Renewing Our Communities.

EVOC – in conjunction with the Edinburgh Partnership and Neighbourhood Partnerships – is running a ThinkSpace engagement including an event in the Business Centre, City Chambers, from 2pm to 4.30pm on Thursday 23rd August.

The Engagement begins here – tell us what you think about Participation, Renewal and Unlocking Enterprise.

You can view the Programme online.

If you’d like to attend the event, please register via EventBrite.

Twitter-friendly
