Covid-19 UPDATE...
Thanks to funding from the Scottish Government, our Local CommUnity Voices staff continue to engage with colleagues, partners and networks active in broader policy work – so that the Scottish Government and Parliament are sighted on the particular needs of BME communities, particularly in an area of multiple deprivation. We are currently working on Scotland’s new Hate Crime Bill, and on the Human Rights Committee’s inquiry into the human rights and broader equalities impacts of COVID-19 and the current lockdown, just as the UK Government’s latest Immigration Bill makes its way through the Westminster Parliament.
Our provision continues to grow – we are always happy to speak to communities, partners and funders about emergent needs and how we might meet these needs.
We will continue to provide as much information as possible on our website: www.scorescotland.org.uk where you can also find our contact details.
