We’re all working towards a better, fairer world – Scottish Communities CAN and the Ethnic Minority Environmental Network have joined forces to offer an afternoon of tools to help us do that even better. After a delicious shared ‘working’ lunch, participants can chose between two practical sessions:

· Inner: Building A Healthy Culture in Your Organisation

· Outer: Getting Your Voice Heard in the World of Politics and Policy

Open to existing members of the two networks as well as those interested in finding out more.

23rd November 2016
The Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh
Hosted by Senscot, Social Firms Scotland, Scottish Community Alliance, Community Enterprise

Join us for this one-day event in Edinburgh exploring the role of community enterprises in Scotland. Small but highly effective community run enterprises are the bedrock of our sector and keynote speakers from Italy and England will offer perspectives on how our community businesses can stay local, but still make a big impact. Their particular focus will be on community enterprises working together and how, in doing so, they can deliver local services more effectively. The day will also include some great examples of community enterprise from around the country and we will also have Lesley Riddoch hosting a question time session at the end of the day.
