Join ECCAN & Hope for the Future for a working lunch and direct roundtable with MPs, MSPs & Councillors ahead of May’s elections.
About this Event

This session marks the final stage of our work with , following their Advocacy Workshop at our Autumn Assembly in November and the online power-mapping session in January.

Now it’s time to bring it all together.

Join us for an in-person roundtable where we’ll apply what we’ve learned, share our collective knowledge and experience, and take part in direct, open conversations with politicians across the political landscape - including MPs, MSPs and Councillors.

We’ll be meeting at the Meeting Room for a working lunch from 12:00 – 13:00, giving us time to prep together, catch up, revisit power mapping and refine the key questions we want to pose. Matthew from Hope for the Future and members of the (ECCAN) team will be there to support this session.

From 13:00 – 14:30, we’ll be joined by a range of elected representatives for a facilitated political roundtable, with time afterwards for reflection and informal conversations before the event closes at 3:00pm.

With the Scottish Parliamentary elections approaching in May, this is a timely opportunity to access decision-makers, ask pressing questions and help shape the conversations that matter.

Spaces are limited and offered on a first-come, first-served basis.

The venue is wheelchair accessible. If you have any access needs or dietary requirements, please let us know after booking so we can support you. For any queries, please contact [email protected].
