| Community Engagement |
|
We employ a range of methods to engage, inform and consult residents about a range of subjects relating to local services. We aim to work closely alongside residents, service providers and local groups to improve communication and make sure people have the opportunity to be active, involved and influential in their community. Our work to date has seen us use a wide range of engagement techniques, including the use of art and media, and more traditional methods such as surveys, focus groups and research trips. Our work has included supporting the development of a local neighbourhood warden service by leading on resident involvement, and providing training to build skills and knowledge of how services work through the How Your Neighbourhood Works programme. We build relationships with local people and front line workers, and use our knowledge and expertise to bring people together. |
Much of the work of SCF involves engaging with our communities.
