In today's rapidly changing world, digital engagement with local communities has become more crucial, especially when delivering community regeneration and neighbourhood development plans.

Local (parish and town) councils must make it as easy as possible for people to engage with them and be flexible enough to meet the needs of communities.

Join us at this informative event to learn about effective digital engagement strategies that can broaden community participation beyond the usual suspects. You will discover how digital tools and platforms can enable local councils to connect with residents more efficiently and effectively and make it easier for people to engage with the decision-making processes that affect their lives.

Our expert speakers will share their experiences on how digital engagement can help local councils access funding, develop partnerships, and deliver successful regeneration and neighbourhood development projects. You will also learn about the challenges and opportunities in implementing strategies and the skills and resources needed to make them work.

Whether you are a local councillor, community leader, or resident interested in participating in your community's development, this event is an excellent opportunity to gain insights and strategies for effective digital engagement. Join us and learn how to harness the power of digital to empower local communities and deliver successful regeneration projects.

Speakers: Debbie Ford, founder of Chichester Social, Steve Besford Foster, planning consultant for PlanSupport and Camilla Southworth, town clerk at Torpoint Town Council
