Edinburgh Community Health Forum

The Forum has created the opportunity to develop partnerships with other organisation or in areas where didnt happen previously

ECHF is a great support for networking and learning!

We are always stronger together - ECHF provides joint information, voice and presence for community health initiatives in the City. PCHP very much values the forum and its work on behalf of our organsiation and others

I feel the ECHF is the most beneficial meeting that I attend thoughout the year.

The ECHF is invaluable it is as it enables services capacity and effectiveness to deal with important pertinent issues without taking away from service delivery. IT makes projects more efficient.

I attend a lot of different forums and networks due to the cross over of our work; yet I believe the ECHF offers something different and valuable

The relevance of the topics the forum work on have made me engage with staff differently, ask different questions of my organisation, and supported me to feel more confident and included within the forum itself and at work.

I feel more informed and supported as a result of the ECHF

I always try to prioritise coming to forum meetings as it is a helpful place to come - to get support, information and to network. It's unique and I appreciate it.

You are doing a really great job keeping us all informed and linked in. Hugely helpful to know the health inequalities agenda is represented, as individual projects simply cannot make it to all the meetings that take place.

I think the network and help provided is invaluable - particularly for a small organisation such as ours

I think the ECHF gives you confidence to share issues with other third sector partners openly.

The training, support and information provided by the Forum continues to evolve and improve. It manages to be relevant, well tailored to its audiences and timely

The support and information that has been provided over the last 6 months in relation to the HSC Review of Grants has been excellent and is exactly what the forum is all about

The ECHF does a great job - excellent training programme, well run meetings and an obvious commitment to supporting member organisations

Discussions at forum meetings on strategic developments has widened my knowledge and influenced my thinking & decision making regarding development within my organisation

ECHF has provided support to us as an organisation in so many ways: communication; information; evaluation and grant applications not to mention peer support. I think the network and help provided is invaluable - particularly for a small organisation such as our
