Across Wales, local authorities, third sector organisations, community and town councils sit at the heart of local life, yet many face the same challenge, how to truly engage residents in shaping their community’s future.
That’s why I’ve created ”Community Engagement & Development, From Consultation to Collaboration, a one-day, training workshop designed to help councils, clerks, and community champions build stronger connections and more inclusive decision-making.
What to Expect
This interactive workshop blends reflection, facilitation, and creativity to help participants:
- Communicate so people listen and listen, so people speak.
- Move from informing and consulting to collaborating.
- Map community strengths and voices to see who’s included (and who’s missing).
- Explore practical engagement methods that fit your local context.
- Turn insights into a realistic 3-Action Plan for building collaboration.
Who It’s For
- Community and Town Councillors
- Clerks and Officers
- Local Authority Engagement Teams
- Community Champions and Volunteers
- Organisations seeking to engage with a community voice.
Workshop Format
Full-day, in-person session (9:30 – 4:30)
Facilitated by Bryony Wiffen, community engagement specialist, facilitator and coach.
Flexible delivery available for individual councils, multi-council clusters, or local authority teams.
