Continued community connection

Hello!

Summer is often a time for unwinding and reconnecting. Whether you're taking a well-deserved vacation, enjoying barbecues and outdoor adventures with loved ones, or finally dedicating more time to your hobbies, we hope these longer days offer a welcome opportunity to recharge.

As we head into the quieter period for participation projects, it's essential to keep providing and promoting engagement opportunities. But it's also a great chance to focus on your professional development. We know that when the busy season picks up again, you'll be ready to hit the ground running with new skills and insights.

We’ve put together some valuable resources to help you stay engaged and hope you find this content inspirational and supportive.

Did you miss our webinar on how to design better surveys?

Surveys are the “bread and butter” of consultation and engagement work - and in recognition of this, we’ve recently made improvements to our native survey tool.

So, what are the necessary ingredients for creating a good resident experience with such a blunt tool? And how can we avoid clouding issues? 

Find out as Fraser (Government Success Manager UK) and Lora (Country Manager UK) guide you through it step by step in our recent webinar recording.
