Ways to Get Involved

Surveys are crucial for us in understanding your needs and views. When we understand your needs and views, it makes it much easier for us to improve services and keep you up to date with changes. To show our appreciation for your time, you'll be awarded with Time Credits or competition entries for each survey that you complete, but you can only complete a survey once. View our current surveys here.

Have your say about subjects that matter to you.

Take part in workshops dealing with specific topics and have your voice heard.

Become a stakeholder and help us make key decisions regarding the organisations future.

Due to the Covid 19 pandemic, things have to be a little different this year to keep everyone safe, so we are holding our Annual General Meeting online. We hope lots of our Members will attend the event to see everything that has been going on at Community Gateway over the past year. 

If you are a Member you will still have the opportunity to vote at the AGM, but we are asking that you do this before the event by completing the proxy form and RSVP below, or by returning the paper version of the forms which you will receive alongside the Annual Report.

You can read the Agenda and the supporting papers for the AGM by clicking here.

All Members who attend and watch the full event and complete the survey at the end of the event will receive a £5.00 gift voucher and will be entered into a prize draw to win £250 vouchers of your choice! Please return both forms by the 4th September.

If you have any queries about the papers or the AGM, please contact our Governance Team on 01772 268013 or email elaine.platt@communitygateway.co.uk
