Learning by Listening
A six weekly network meeting supported by partners from Research and Development at University Hospitals Plymouth and others with an open invite and growing members' list from the VCSE, Health and Statutory sectors.

We’re hearing a strong appetite – both from colleagues in the council and across the VCSE sector – to develop more effective ways of gathering and sharing community insights that can shape how we work as a city. Whether in service provision, commissioning, or policy development, there’s a clear shared ambition to put community and VCSE voices at the heart of our decisions. We are currently developing a project proposal which plans to consider how best to share the conversations we have collected and make sure they influence decision making. This will take a bit of time to get right as we engage with our colleagues in the council and the VCSE to frame the work thoughtfully.
