Client
Neighbourhood Networks, a charity that works with communities across Scotland to reduce isolation and promote independent living through peer-led support.Challenge
To improve member engagement in governance, Neighbourhood Networks created the Neighbourhood Advisory Group (NNAG) as a more informal and accessible complement to the charity’s board. However, participation remains low, meaning members’ voices are not fully represented. Our task was to strengthen the NNAG so it works more meaningfully and ensures members are genuinely heard.
Methods
Staff depth interviews with both frontline and senior staff to capture a range of perspectives.
Ethnography by attending an independent network and regularly joining the Musselburgh Transitions group to get to know members.
