Comment by Olivia Hanley on Monday

Hi, for info the Long Term Conditions Alliance Scotland (LTCAS) have recently opened an Involvement Network which is open to people living with long term conditions who want to contribute to campaigning and policy activities. Launched at the network member’s event last week, at which members were encouraged to embrace co-production approaches, the Involvement Network will allow LTCAS to capture the stories of people living with long term conditions. It is open to those aged 18 and over who would like to share their experience and expertise of living with long term conditions in order to assist LTCAS and its partner organisations with policy work, campaigns and research.

Network membership is FREE and people will be supported to volunteer in a way that fits in with their time, condition, skills and interests. To find out more, please see the flyer or email Nancy Greig, Network Development Officer at nancy.greig@ltcas.org.uk

Hi all,

As part of the Commonwealth Games Legacy Programme, the Scottish Government has commissioned SCDC to work with community organisations across Scotland to support them to use the Games as a catalyst for building on their work to develop activities and projects that involve local people, increase local community action and support the achievement of better health and social outcomes.

 

If you are a community organisation, or know of a community organisation, who would like to participate in this programme and would like more information, please visit our website www.scdc.org.uk/commonwealth-games-involving-communities/ or contact Olivia Hanley on olivia@scdc.org.uk
