Local Election Hustings event with Third Sector

VSGWL invites staff, volunteers and trustees from all third sector orgs, Social Enterprises, Community Councils, 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 West 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 vsg@vsgwl.org by Noon 7 April.

The event will be hosted and chaired, by Mhairi Harrington, ex. CEO and Principle of West Lothian College.
