Phase one - Survey

This was the first phase of our conversations to design the new Wigan borough equality approach to ensure everyone has the same opportunities and people feel like they belong and are included.

Community and voluntary groups worked in partnership with Wigan Council and the project's facilitators (Happy Smiles CIC and Everything Human Rights Community Group) to host a large engagement project to share local knowledge and lived experiences, which will raise the awareness of some local issues and strengths to find out how together we can identify and implement suitable solutions. 

We hosted a launch event on 30th October 2023. At the launch event we showcased the achievements made so far and explained the opportunities to get involved within this engagement project.
