Voluntary Sector Forum to meet on Tuesday

EVOClogo

Hi 

Please find attached Agenda for the next Forth and Inverleith Forum scheduled to take place next Tuesday 12th April from 1 – 3pm at Pilton Community Health Project, Boswall Parkway. 

Forth & Inverleith Agenda – 12th April 2016

The Agenda is deliberately short to ensure there is sufficient time for AOB – this is to ensure members have an opportunity to discuss challenges organisations are facing through funding cuts and also the shift to Localities both by the CEC and Health and Social Care Partnership.
