Activists from across the city will meet to thrash out the future of the Edinburgh Community Representatives Network on Saturday (19 March). ECRN has received financial support from Capital City Partnership since it’s formation, but with Capital City Partnership’s own future in doubt ECRN members must now decide the way forward for the group.
ECRN’s ‘Big Event’ will take place at the SYHA Edinburgh Central Youth Hostel on Haddington Place from 9.30 to 4pm.
ECRN Development Worker Alison Miller said: “Existing funding comes to an end on 31 March, and while new sources of funding are being investigated it may take some time for this to come to reality. Reduced resources will undoubtedly be a challenge for the ongoing work of the Network, but with every challenge comes opportunity and members feel that now might also be a good time to reassess what ECRN is or should be about, and whether it’s activities continue to reflect the changing context in which it now operates”.
For further information on the Edinburgh Community Representatives Network (ECRN) or to book your free place at the ‘Big Event’, call Alison at North Edinburgh Trust on 0131 625 0045.
