Value of third sector involvement in local tobacco alliances
CHEX would like to highlight an event organised by ASH Scotland which will take place at the Royal Hotel in Bridge of Allan on Tuesday 24 August 2010, from 9.30am to 4.30pm. ‘Local Tobacco Alliances: value of voluntary and community sector involvement’ will identify the benefits to be gained by voluntary and community sector organisations’ membership of local tobacco alliances.
The voluntary and community sector has considerable expertise in connecting with local communities and the potential to make a significant impact in reducing inequalities through involvement in tobacco work. This event will celebrate the success of voluntary and community organisations in developing and delivering tobacco related work as well as identifying the opportunities for involvement in the planning and implementation of co-ordinated tobacco work in partnership with the statutory sector.
By attending this event you can find out more about the potential for partnership working between public sector and community and voluntary sector organisations in addressing the impact of tobacco on your local community.
Who will benefit from attending this event?
- Those voluntary and community organisations working at a local level in the areas of young people
- Mental health and wellbeing
- Anti-poverty work
- Long-term conditions
- Members of local tobacco alliances particularly chairs and lead people
- Those working in statutory organisations that have a remit for tobacco work and an interest in local tobacco alliance development
