As we head into Year 3 of the Scottish Government’s Communities Mental Health and Wellbeing Fund, we are taking a moment to look back on the community commissioning approach we have taken here in Edinburgh – community led and collaborative.

 

Our objective for this review, is to look at the ‘lessons learned’ from this aspirational approach:

  • What has worked well?
  • How has the approached developed in practice?

To give a more balanced view we have done this from both an internal and an external perspective:

  • EVOC/Edinburgh Third Sector Interface Lessons Learned
  • CMHW Community Commissioning Review 2021/2022 Process Report (David Bulter & Charlotte Lee)

More details about the timeline and process for Year 3 in Edinburgh will be announced very soon, but in the meantime you can find an overview here.


You can find all the details and documentation relating to the Fund in Edinburgh using the links below:
