People across Scotland are being asked to take part in a national discussion about how the country can be a fairer and more equal place to live.
Scottish Government have started a national conversation 'Creating A Fairer Scotland: What Matters To You?'.
Scottish Government would like you to share your thoughts and ideas - here are a few questions to get you thinking:
-
What are the issues that matter most to you?
-
What do you think needs to be done to create a fairer Scotland?
-
How can you and your community play a role in helping to shape our future?
Why not share your views at home, with your friends or at work.
Or you can join in the discussions online at:
Twitter: @scotgovfairer #fairerscotland
Facebook: fairer.scot
Or write to Scottish Government via email at: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
Or post a letter to: FREEPOST FAIRER SCOTLAND
Scottish Government are committed to ensuring as many people as possible can take part on this conversation. If you require materials in alternative formats, please contact Scottish Government on the contact details above.
