Claiming Our Future Update


Hello everyone and thanks again for your support and interest over the past few months. As you all know there is a general election looming, and Claiming our Future is now taking its next steps - we hope you will take them with us. Our immediate focus is the election itself and we have developed some 'Power at Your Door' questions  to tackle canvassers. We also have our COF Priorities in an easy reference format for download. We are also going to have a COF Priorities launch next Wednesday 9th February from 1-2pm, details are below and places are limited so please register on the website. After the election, we will be running further deliberative events to explore the values and priorities for change that came out of last year's RDS event, and will be sending more information closer to the time.
