Community Voices Series

What could this idea change?

Broadens whose knowledge is heard, reduces Rotary-centric framing and creates a transparent input route for service planning.

Could this work in our club?

• Residents, service organisations, civic leaders and project teams who need grounded local perspectives. Use when the club needs to understand an issue before proposing a solution.

Before you start

• A scoped question, audience map and recruitment plan designed to reduce selection bias.
• Interview and consent choices covering attribution, anonymity, quotation review and recording.
• Facilitators trained in listening, referral boundaries, cultural safety and accessible participation.

At the end: Tell contributors what was heard, what can change and what cannot, complete promised referrals, and invite corrections before the next instalment.
