Conversations in the community that count

‘Voice It!’, led by the RCT Health Determinants Research Collaboration (HDRC) and delivered by the Community Voice Team in partnership with Interlink, will bring conversations directly into communities through a mix of informal pop-up engagement sessions at local community venues, RCT community events and online.

Community Voice Team: Matt, Kim, Deb & Laura

The initiative aims to create safe, welcoming spaces where people can share their experiences and views on what affects health and wellbeing in their communities, ensuring that local voices are not only heard but actively used to inform research, council decision-making, and service design.


Voice It: Access to Services

This first series of family friendly events will explore how residents currently contact the Council, their experiences of doing so, and what they would like to see improved - helping to shape a more “equitable front door” for council services. Insight gathered through these series of Voice it! events will feed directly into our 'Access to Services' project.

There’s no need to fill out forms or prepare anything - residents can simply drop by, have a conversation, and take part in creative activities (although registration forms will need to be completed for online sessions). These events are welcome to all ages and all individuals who may live, work or play in RCT.

If you live in Rhondda Cynon Taf, you can also get involved by completing our online survey. Local community organisations can also support their services users to take part and can apply to our 'Access to Services' opportunity to receive payment for their time.
