Shaping the future of Ipswich neighbourhoods

Volunteering Matters and the #iWill Movement are supporting Pride in Place in Stoke Park & Chantry and Whitehouse, helping ensure local people are at the heart of decisions about their communities.

Pride in Place is a long-term investment in local neighbourhoods, giving residents the opportunity to shape priorities, influence funding decisions and create lasting positive change.

We’ll be working with Community Connectors and local residents to gather ideas and feedback, while also supporting six Youth Collaborators to help design engagement activities and champion youth voice throughout the project.

We’re also encouraging local people to consider joining their Pride in Place Neighbourhood Board as a Chair or Board Member, helping guide investment and oversee community-led improvements over the next decade.
