We were joined by colleagues from Mental Health Foundation who told us about two of their exciting projects.

We found out how people from minority ethnic communities have designed and are delivered learning materials. These materials focus on an anti-racism approach. The materials have been co-produced by volunteers. The experiences of volunteers and their communities have shaped the materials. The “Reclaiming our Power” project is a true example of nothing about us without us.

The second project was about improving representation of new asylum seekers and refugees. This project focuses on citizens’ panels and decision making processes. We found out about the Elevate and Beyond Visibility projects. These projects aim to make participation more meaningful for New Scots.  We heard about the impact their involvement has had.
