Members of the Institute represent organisations from a range of sectors, from aviation, infrastructure and planning to local authorities, health, and fellow consulting experts. We bring this melting pot of professionals together once a month for a free, virtual coffee morning!

Tuesday 8th February, 10am

Our first session of 2022 is in the spirit of Global Community Engagement Day, and the Institute is taking time to reflect on how the community-based approach can effectively engage the community in ongoing dialogue concerning service policy, provision and development.

The Institute intends to share the latest thinking around the concept and good practice community engagement, in which Institute members are encouraged to share the development of their approach, actions and techniques and methods employed to enable meaningful community engagement.

Are you using a digital platform to carry out your community engagement? Is social media the way communities’ network now? What are the barriers to community engagement?

Join us and share your experience with us, and hear the experience of your fellow Institute members.

Exciting opportunity: Have your article published with us!

We are inviting organisations and experts to feature their articles on consultation and/or community engagement in our newsletter. Members can then benefit from access to exclusive networking forums like The Perfect Blend, in which you’ll have the opportunity to have productive discussions on your articles with fellow members.

Interested in being published but not sure what to write about? Written an article that you think would be perfect? No matter what stage you’re at in the process, we’re more than happy to have a chat!
