MSP advice for groups

GRASSROOTS groups will meet at Holyrood tomorrow for the Scottish Parliament’s Communities Conference.

Presiding Officer Tricia Marwick said the event was designed to give practical advice to campaigning groups who want to be heard in the parliament.

She said: “There will be 180 delegates here for the one-day conference and we want them to understand the various ways through which they can connect with MSPs.

“The communities conference approach is unique to our Parliament, and has drawn interest from others in the UK and overseas.
