Community Drop-In Spaces |
Welcome to our survey!
Who are we?
We are Community Voices. We are a collective advocacy group based in Edinburgh and centred on mental health. In advocacy groups like ours, people with shared identities, experiences and challenges come together to have a stronger voice and take action.
What are drop-ins?
Drop-ins are free or donation-based events in the community, that do not require booking. They often run on a regular basis, with a focused activity or purpose, e.g. a coffee morning or a crafts session.

Why are we doing this survey?
We think there are not enough drop-ins and community spaces where people in Edinburgh can meet to socialise. We believe that socialising is crucial in maintaining good mental health. Community spaces are needed to avoid isolation which can worsen mental health issues.

How are we using the information collected?
We will summarise it in a report to circulate and present to funding bodies, community centres, and service providers. Your responses will help us understand what is available in Edinburgh, and what is instead lacking. We hope this will influence provision of services and urge decision-makers to take people's needs into account.
