About the Network
Working together in practice
The Edinburgh Network of Voluntary Organisations for Children, Young People and Families was created by bringing together the voluntary organisations recruited to join the database profiling exercise by the Eke-Out Project along with the membership of three pre-existing voluntary sector fora (ECHO, VOICE and the Coalition of Youth Projects). It is supported in its work by the Eke-Out Project and managed by an Executive Committee of members elected at the Network’s Annual General Meeting.
Strength in numbers
The size and composition of the Network is constantly changing as new organisations are established or discovered or existing members close or shift their focus from work with children, young people and families. There are currently over 260 organisations in the Network providing over 800 services between them. The Network is now the recognised channel for voluntary sector participation in partnership working for children and young people’s services in Edinburgh.
