Promoting Health in Ayrshire & Arran - Community Involvement

If you'd like to become involved in the North Ayrshire Public Partnership Forum, go to the "Involving You" pages on the NHS Ayrshire & Arran website.

Once all the outcomes of any consultations have been collated, an assessment will be made of possible amendments to current strategies. Go to the Scottish Government's publications page to read reports of recent updates.

Rural Policy
SCVO’s Rural Policy work seeks to influence decision makers and policymaking whether within government, the public sector, the voluntary sector or beyond. This work supports ongoing activities to increase understanding of rural voluntary organisations, support their growth and improvement, provide information to assist them and raise the profile of the rural issues with which they deal. Recent work has included input to the reform of the CAP and the Scottish Rural Development Strategy.  For more information see www.scvo.org.uk/scvo/PolicyAndParliament/PolicIssues.aspx
