Learning from local authorities: best practice in resident engagement - March 5
Event details
Join us for an insightful knowledge-sharing session discussing the crucial challenge of resident engagement.
Held online via Microsoft Teams and led by experts from Portsmouth City Council, the session will discuss the strategies, successes, challenges and lessons that have informed experiences and supported the development of best practice with resident engagement.
Portsmouth City Council leads a housing consortium of more than 20 local authority members and has seen success implementing resident engagement tactics through the Home Upgrade Grant (HUG2) scheme. However, insights shared are likely to benefit organisations delivering through Wave 2 of the Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund or possibly through future waves of similar schemes.
What to expect:
- learn how Portsmouth City Council uses a mix of digital tools, in-person events and collaborative initiatives to reach and engage diverse communities
- discover how leveraging consortia partnerships with adjacent local authorities has enhanced community outreach and engagement through shared resources and expertise
- hear about what worked well, including strategies that boosted participation and built trust, as well as the challenges faced and solutions found
- see how lessons learned are being applied to new projects for more inclusive and effective engagement
Why attend?
The session should enable you to gain practical insights into proven strategies and tactics from Portsmouth City Council’s experience to support enhanced resident engagement for your own projects.
