AdvoCard will be supporting Edinburgh Community Voices to submit a collective response to the consultation. You can contribute to Edinburgh Community Voices’ response by taking part in one of our face to face or online meetings in April or May.
Tuesday 19th April, 1 – 3pm: Eric Liddell Centre (15 Morningside Road, Edinburgh, EH10 4DP)
Wednesday 4th May, 2 – 4pm: Online Meeting
Tuesday 17th May, 1 – 3pm: Eric Liddell Centre
VOX Scotland will be joining us for the Online Meeting on 4th May – this gives you the opportunity to contribute to their response at the same time as contributing to our response.
If you would like to take part in one of these meetings, please contact Becky – becky@advocard.org.uk, 0131 554 5307
If you are unable to make one of the meetings but would like to give your views, you can send them to Becky, or we can have a chat on the phone.
You can also respond to the consultation yourself online. The deadline is 27th May.
The consultation paper is long, there is a lot of information in there. If there is anything you are not clear about, please don’t be put off – let us know, we can have a chat about it and do our best to answer any questions you have. Contact Becky as above.
