Following feedback from the Penhill community about the importance of working together and strengthening local connections, we are inviting you to help shape the next step of the Pride in Place project.

We would like to bring as many people together for a Community Mapping Exercise to identify and map out the different groups, organisations, and informal networks within Penhill. This will help ensure the Pride in Place team can engage with as many people as possible and make sure all voices are heard.

To make sure we choose a time that suits the majority, comment below option 1 or 2 for your preferred time to meet:

📅 Option 1: Tuesday 23rd June, 6:30 – 7:30pm
📅 Option 2: Friday 26th June, 2:00 – 3:00pm

Please cast your vote by 5pm Thursday 18th June. The most popular date will be chosen. If you're not able to attend the chosen date, please feel free to also comment below your knowledge of community groups/connections in the area and we will add it to the information we gather, or email information to [email protected]

Thank you for taking part and for working with us on the Penhill Pride in Place initiative
