Voice

Community voice and advocacy are the cornerstones of participation.

If people cannot speak out, they cannot be heard and they cannot engage.

bassac members and other community anchors act as hubs of influence and communication within their local area.

Raising your voice

Axis of Influence is a discussion-based tool to help community groups and networks assess their influence.

We run regular workshops and have just published four information sheets as part of the Voice framework, which are free to download.

Community anchor organisations can play a major part in the renewal of local democracy.

We're supporting bassac members and councillors to work more closely together on local issues.
