Local Election Hustings Event with Third Sector

26th April @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm

Volunteer Centre East Lothian invites staff, volunteers and trustees from all Third Sector organisations, Social Enterprises, Community Councils and Community Development Trusts to attend a Hustings event with candidates from the five main Political Parties in advance of the upcoming local May election. As you may be aware, a Hustings is a meeting where election candidates’ debate policies and answer questions from an invited audience

The purpose of this event is to allow each Party to lay out their vision and commitments to East Lothian’s Third Sector, should they either form an Administration or gain a position of influence in the new Administration. The event will give each candidate a few minutes to outline their intentions, which will be followed by questions, from the audience (NB. the event will be recorded).

If you would like to submit a question, please send an email to maureen@volunteereastlothian.org.uk by noon 25th April.

The Third Sector Husting is being organised by Volunteer Centre East Lothian (VCEL). Light refreshments will be available.
