We’re delighted to announce Public Health Scotland (PHS) as our collaboration partner for our Annual Conference.
This year’s conference will spark thought-provoking conversations that bring together voices from the third sector, public sector, academia, policymakers, and communities to move from conversation to collaboration – ensuring the third sector remains strong and at the forefront of creating lasting change. Through constructive and forward-looking discussions, we’ll explore how collaboration is used within the sector to define priorities, strengthen partnerships, and lay the groundwork for a healthier, fairer Scotland.
Speakers include:
- Manira Ahmad, Chief Officer, Public Health Scotland
 - Johanna Davies, Head of Health and Social Care, Wales Council for Voluntary Action
 - Professor Devi Sridhar, Chair of Global Public Health, University of Edinburgh
