Contacting Your Elected Representative

Outside the Box is offering free, interactive sessions for community groups of people age 50+ on how to contact your elected representative.  Come along and gain practical tips on how your elected representatives can help you and your community. For more information and to book a session, click here.

For more ideas on building meaningful connections with elected representatives, take a look at GWT’s publication Engaging with Policymakers: An Intergenerational Guide. It’s a helpful resource for raising the profile of your project and showing the difference intergenerational work makes for participants and the wider community.

Influencing policy rarely happens through a single conversation — but every connection helps. By working together, we can strengthen the voice of intergenerational practice across Scotland and help elected representatives understand its value.
