MEETINGS & PAPERS
East Lothian Access all Areas group an innovative project aimed at empowering young people from ethnic minority, refugee, asylum seeking and faith groups to influence service provision in their local area, enhance access and promote inclusion. It was developed with a view to involving young people in democratic processes and promoting "informed participation" in local civic structures.
Our Plan for the Future of East Lothian: Single Outcome Agreement 2011 is the overarching plan for our partnership; and therefore for all partner organisations.
This sets out the priorities and outcomes, or changes partners want to achieve for our people, communities and environment, and what we will do together to make this happen through our shared strategies and plans and individual services.
