More 18 to 24 years olds needed to be the ‘Voice of Warwickshire’!
Warwickshire County Council is looking for a new cohort of residents to join its residents’ panel, called ‘Voice of Warwickshire’. It’s had a fantastic response since its launch in 2021 when it gained over 800 members - but the Council wants more people aged 18 to 24 years old to sign up. 
‘Voice of Warwickshire’ was formed to give people an opportunity to share their views, so the County Council can listen to the voices of as many people as possible.
Warwickshire County Council wants their decisions and priorities to be informed by the views of a representative group of residents, to help them to understand their needs and improve how they work with communities in tackling the various challenges that Warwickshire faces.
People who sign up will be helping the County Council deliver the new Council Plan, focusing on big issues in Warwickshire, like education, health and wellbeing, climate change and sustainability, community safety, transport, economic growth, inequalities and inclusion, and more.
To be eligible to take part, people need to be 18 or over and live in Warwickshire. The County Council is asking people to sign up initially for 12 months.
Once they’re registered as a Voice of Warwickshire member, around 4 times a year Warwickshire County Council will ask them to give their opinions, mainly using online polls and short surveys.
If they are unable to participate online, the County Council would still like to hear from them and will be able to arrange another way for them to share their views. The closing date for registering has now been extended to 21st May 2023.
People can sign up to be a Voice of Warwickshire member by either:
The County Council will then ask them to provide some basic information about themselves in the first instance.
A digital flyer that you can share in your school newsletters and online, or print out as a poster to display in school, is included.
