Dear All,
I hope you are well.
I’m writing to give you some information about upcoming events in the area, and to outline a plan for the next forum meeting on Thursday 18th August, 10-12 at Pilton Community Health Project.
Forum meeting
As the last meeting was very busy, it would be good for everyone to have a chance to update each other and to plan for the coming year. I suggest we talk about:
– Inequalities in employment – what can we do to respond in North Edinburgh?
– Community integration activities – updates and plans for the coming year
– Living in Harmony – topics for upcoming forum meetings; training sessions we could organise in the future
– Hate crime reporting – how do we increase understanding of hate crime and enable people to report a crime? Plans for Third Party Reporting training.
Please RSVP and feel free to suggest other items for the agenda by replying to this email.
