SUMMARY:VHS Members Meet Up: What price health? The Cost of Living Crisis\, Health and the Third Sector
DESCRIPTION:As the winter months fast approach\, we would like to invite VHS members to a networking discussion to explore current preoccupations with the impact of the cost of living crisis\, wellbeing\, poverty and how we plan for 2023 in such uncertain times.  \nThis time last year\, many of our workload’s focused on post pandemic mobilisation\, recovery and renewal in relation to Scotland’s health and wellbeing. Now in late 2022 what impact will the soaring costs\, that we are all facing\, have on this? \nThis discussion will help us build strong evidence and ideas from the third sector to help influence this policy making\, as well as giving our members the opportunity for sharing and discussion with other voluntary health organisations.  \nWe hope you can join us. \nBook your place here. \nPlease contact Lauren Blair if you have any questions.
