Community-Led Housing Forum Relaunch!

Come along to the Community-Led Housing Forum!

Dover District Council is pleased to announce the relaunch of the Community-Led Housing Forum. Anyone interested or involved in Community-Led Housing is very welcome to attend these informal get-togethers.

Come and chat about your ideas, projects, issues, and opportunities with other like-minded people.

The idea for a forum was proposed by community members, who attended the recent Community-Led Housing Mini Conference. They found the chance to meet and network with other like-minded groups, professionals and landowners very useful, and something they would like to do on a regular basis.

Topics raised at the initial Forum will be used as key areas for discussion at the following sessions, but the main aim of the Forum is for people to meet and support one another in getting their projects off the ground.

The sessions will be held at the DDC Offices, Whitfield, Dover CT16 3PJ

6.00pm to 7.30pm on the following evenings:

Thursday 16^th January 2020

Wednesday 19^th February 2020

Thursday 26^th March 2020

You do not need to book a ticket, just turn up on the evening and enjoy a good conversation over a cuppa with like-minded people.

We look forward to meeting you at one of the above Forums.

If you have a specific question regarding the sessions, please send an email to: [email protected]
