Can you have your cake and eat it? 2pm-4pm Saturday 10th February

Come and join us on Saturday 10th Feb at 2.00pm when we will be enjoying cakes and coffee whilst we discuss how a small community like ours might ensure it gets a fair slice of the Public Cake.

 Democracy Matters Somebody somewhere is making decisions on your behalf. They could be an MP, MSP, local councillor or public service worker. This is important work that affects our lives in all sorts of ways, such as helping us to stay safe and healthy, and access fair work and social care.

Come along and meet some of those who speak on your behalf?

There is a growing recognition that it is often better for decisions about the issues that affect different communities in Scotland to be taken with more active involvement of those communities. Whether that is communities in different places organising at a very local level, or communities with a shared interest organising at a more regional level. This enables public services to work in ways, which meet local circumstances and reflect the priorities of different communities.

YOUR FUTURE How can we ensure that a small community like ours has a voice in this? YOUR IDEAS Using a novel ‘speed dating’ style we will capture what you say and feed back into the   Government Consultation
