If you want to hold a community event to discuss the Democracy Matters phase two consultation and to submit a community response, funding is available to support this. Grants of up to £300 are available to help with anything that would be required to get a conversation going. For example, hiring a venue, printing costs, facilitation or to help with costs of those with additional needs to participate.

This fund is being managed by Impact Funding Partners and is open to applications from 28th August 2023 to 26th January 2024.  You can apply via their website.

Facilitation Guidance has also been produced to help you lead these community discussions, focusing on six key themes and questions.
