Edinburgh Compact 2017 launched

EVOC AGM and conference to focus on place

Compact Voice, the latest guide to Edinburgh’s third sector and it’s work with public service partners, has been launched. The report is packed with facts and figures about the capital’s voluntary sector: how it is made up, how it organises itself, how it is funded and Compact Voice also covers current concerns and issues for the sector. Well worth a read.

  • Good Governance – Doing Things Right Means Doing the Right Things
  • Participatory Budgeting an Effective Tool for Community Engagement?
  • Social (in)security

*We have updated our workshop on setting up a Commission on Prevention to look specifically at prevention in the context of funding and grants, in light of the review of the Health and Social Care grants programme.
