SUMMARY:Festival of Politics 2024: Health Creators: Health Inequalities in Scotland
DESCRIPTION:VHS and the Health Inequalities Cross Party Group are delighted to be hosting an event as part of the Festival of Politics in the Scottish Parliament in August. \nBook here. \nHealth inequalities mean that people who are living with social\, economic\, physical disadvantages are more likely to experience ill-health and to die earlier.

SUMMARY:Members Meet Up- August 2024
DESCRIPTION:Our next members meet up on the 28th of August at 10.30am on Zoom. \n2024 is a year of celebration for VHS as we mark 20 years of our charity. The theme of 2024 is “Vital Health Sector” as this captures the role that our members play in the health of people across Scotland. \nWe want to offer a space to connect and share with other VHS members about the challenges we face together. VHS is keen to hear how organisations and their service users are working\, what organisations are trying to achieve and to help us understand what more we could do to help our members. \nOver the last few years\, many of our workloads focused on post pandemic mobilisation\, recovery and renewal in relation to Scotland’s health and wellbeing. \nThis discussion will help us build strong evidence and ideas from the third sector to help influence this policy making\, as well as giving our members the opportunity for sharing and discussion with other voluntary health organisations. \nBook your place here.\nPlease contact Lauren Blair if you have any questions.
