ELCCF is funded to support involvement and engagement in the East Lothian Health and Social Care Partnership planning process.

Community Action Research
Community Action Research (CAR) lies at the heart of the Forum's work. By community led we mean research defined, undertaken, analysed and evidenced by members of the community themselves. It is therefore research of and by the community and not, as is traditional, on and to the community.”

This initiative backs the aspiration towards better supported self-management for people with long term conditions.
