Outside the Box has been contracted by East Renfrewshire Council to establish a new Equalities Forum. We will be working with community groups, organisations, and service providers across East Renfrewshire to encourage and support local people to participate in this new forum. This community-led group will bring people together from diverse communities across East Renfrewshire, sharing their perspectives and bringing their experiences to link in with local decision-making.
The aim of the forum is to raise the voices of people who may not usually participate in public forums or decision-making to support communities to be well represented and heard when it comes to decision-making across East Renfrewshire.
Join us at any one of our open days to discuss:
• what the forum aims would be
• how it could run
• how a range of groups could collaborate with a shared purpose.
Day 1: Clarkston Library - Saturday 18th November, 10.30am - 12.30pm
