Community Knowledge Sharing Project - Plymouth

Plymouth City Council seeks a voluntary or community sector organisation based in Plymouth to lead a 12-month project (plus preparatory phase) that connects community-held knowledge with council decision-makers. Communities across Plymouth regularly gather valuable information about residents' experiences, but this knowledge often fails to reach decision-makers who could use it. The successful applicant will: manage the project; employ research staff; map what information exists and who holds it; identify barriers preventing knowledge-sharing; and establish systems to connect community insights with council colleagues and other decision-makers. This project aims to ensure community voices and experiences directly influence local policy and decision-making. The funding is provided by the Plymouth Health Determinants Collaboration (PHDRC). Interested organisations should be prepared to start soon, with flexibility for a development phase before the main project launch.
