Further to Tim’s post on the participatory workshop in Leeds, we held a full-day learning and action workshop in Suffolk on the 10th of March. It was really great to see such a diverse mix of people from the voluntary and statutory sectors come together to discuss shared challenges and aspirations relating to participation in the county. Although many of the participants and the organisations they were representing face difficult times ahead in terms of budget and job cuts, in general there was a feeling of optimism and pragmatism in the room. People came up with some nice ideas for concrete actions they could take to improve the way they engage with volunteers and the wider public. The workshop presentation is available here and the report will be available soon.
