Aberdeen Civic Forum
The Civic Forum was launched in May 2002 and represents one of the main routes for community input into Community Planning.
The Civic Forum draws together representatives from every Community Council and neighbourhood in the City and from Communities of Interest Forums which include:
-
Aberdeen University Students Association
-
Aberdeen City Youth Council
-
Community Regeneration Forum
-
Disability Advisory Group
-
Ethnic Minority Forum
-
Grampian Senior Citizens Forum
-
Gypsies/Travellers Community
-
Lesbian, Gay Bisexual and Transgender Forum
The Civic Forum has three places on The Aberdeen City Alliance and a minimum of three representatives on each of the Challenge Forums. Civic Forum members representing the organisation on other bodies are asked to provide feedback on the meetings they attend, and a form is provided for the purpose.
Feedback Form for Civic Forum Reps on Challenge Forums
The Lead Group (the Executive Committee of the Civic Forum) meets on a monthly basis to plan full Forum meetings and to deal with routine business. Click here to view the Civic Forum Lead Group Membership (2011-2014).
