Edinburgh & Lothian
Welcome to the Edinburgh and Lothian Network
We’re excited to share that the Edinburgh & West Lothian Network and the East Lothian & Midlothian Network are merging to form a single combined network: Edinburgh & Lothian.
This change will help us build stronger connections across the area, reduce duplication, and simplify coordination and communication. It’s also part of a wider shift across Scotland, where we’re reducing the number of networks from 18 to 15 to make better use of time and resources.
Upcoming Meetings
Our most recent Edinburgh & Lothian Network meeting took place on 17 February 2026 at Manor Grange Care Home, Edinburgh.Thank you to Manor Grange for hosting and to all members who attended and contributed to the discussion.
Meeting notes from the session are now available below.
Get Involved
If you or your organisation would be interested in hosting a future network meeting, please get in touch — we’d love to hear from you.
We’re also looking for new Community Connectors to help strengthen links across Edinburgh & Lothian.
To discuss further or to request an application form please contact Corrina Bruce
