About the event
Help shape how we work with communities across Dorset.
Dorset Council is bringing together partners from the voluntary sector, community and faith sector, health organisations and town & parish councils for a series of Community Conversations events.
These events are for organisations who work with communities in the following areas:
Bradford Peverell
Buckland Newton
Cerne Valley
Charminster
Cheselbourne
Dewlish
Dorchester
Frampton
Hilton
Melcombe Horsey
Minterne Magna
Piddle Valley
Stinsford
Stratton
Sydling St Nicholas
Winterborne St Martin
Winterborne Abbas & Winterborne Steepleton
The two sessions are designed to work together, so attending both would be really beneficial.
These are not formal consultations. They are open, honest discussions about how we work together and how we can do things better. By taking part, you will:
Have a stronger voice in local decision-making
Influence how services are designed and delivered in your area
Help shape more joined-up, community-led solutions
Build relationships with other organisations and partners
What you tell us will directly inform what happens next. This is also an opportunity to move beyond discussion and shape practical changes together. We know we can't do this alone, and we don't want to.
Please join us and help shape the future of our communities
Please register your attendance by completing this short form. As places are limited, it really helps us to know how many people plan to attend, as well as any access or dietary requirements you may have.
