Shaped by people

What we want

More people believe that getting involved is worthwhile and feel inspired to take part.
More people have the confidence to get involved and know how to get support.
More people feel included, respected, listened to and able to contribute.
More people feel connected and know people in their communities well.

Surveys chosen by local people, for example:
- how able people feel to make a difference in their community, on a scale of 0 to 7
- percentage of people who agree that (in the last 12 months) they got involved in their community and something positive came out of it.
Informal discussions in groups or one-to-one, so we can learn more about whether people feel able to make a difference to their community and why.
Listening to and sharing people's stories about what motivated them to get involved and what has helped, or not helped.

Involving citizens in decision-making around budgets will help us to achieve a fair and balanced approach.

We'd like your feedback to improve the Kirklees Council website and the information we provide.
