In this webinar we heard from Edinburgh Voluntary Organisation’s Council (EVOC) about their work supporting community, voluntary and Social Sector organisations across Edinburgh through their ‘Edinburgh 2030 Co-Lab’ and ‘Edinburgh Community Climate Forum’. This put Community Wealth Building and collaboration at the centre of a new greener, fairer and healthier transformation for Edinburgh.
Given the potential health possibilities from improving community wellbeing and the local environment, it’s important to ensure that we reach out across communities and the voluntary sector to learn about priorities, challenges and working together in ways which benefit all of our health. As part of the NHS we engage with members of communities who use our services every day. We are also members of communities, so there’s an opportunity to think about how we can support change locally as well as in our roles within the NHS.
