Empowering Communities – Call for Evidence

June 27, 2014

The Community Empowerment (Scotland) Bill was published at the beginning of June 2014.  The Bill is designed to strengthen and nurture community participation and encourage enterprising community development – and help people to have their voices heard in the planning and delivery of services.

Voluntary Health Scotland has produced the following briefing on the Bill for members – VHS Briefing – Community Empowerment Bill [June 2014]

The full Bill, Policy Memorandum, Explanatory Notes and Delegated Powers Memorandum can be found on the Parliament’s website.

The Parliament’s Local Government and Regeneration (LGR) Committee has now issued a call for written evidence on the Bill – details are on the Committee’s website. The deadline for submitting evidence is Friday 5 September 2014.

Voluntary Health Scotland will be responding to this evidence request.  If you would like to discuss the Bill please contact Susan Lowes, Policy and Engagement Officer susan.lowes@vhscotland.org.uk
