Description

Brighton and Hove city council are seeking a Community Engagement partner. Organisations, community groups and engagement specialists with a strong connection to Brighton and Whitehawk are being invited to support a major community engagement programme that will help local people shape the future of their neighbourhood. The Whitehawk Pride in Place programme, backed by millions of pounds of funding to improve the local area, is designed to empower local residents and ensure that spending and investment is driven by the people who live and work in Whitehawk. The Programme is now seeking engagement partners who can help reach residents, community organisations, young people, families, local businesses, schools, faith groups, voluntary organisations and underheard voices across the area. Partners should bring local knowledge, inclusive engagement experience and a clear commitment to working with Whitehawk communities in a respectful, accessible and practical way. The appointed partner or partners will support awareness raising, community conversations, pop-up engagement, drop-ins, survey support, targeted outreach, community champion activity and resident-friendly feedback. The work will help ensure that insight gathered from the community informs future priorities, investment decisions and the long-term Pride in Place Plan for Whitehawk. Donna and Kane, co-chairs of the Whitehawk Neighbourhood Board, said: "This is an important opportunity to make sure local voices are at the heart of long-term change in Whitehawk. We want to hear from organisations and individuals who understand Brighton, have a genuine connection to Whitehawk or similar communities, and can help residents take part in ways that feel welcoming, useful and worthwhile." Expressions of interest are particularly encouraged from organisations with experience of inclusive community engagement, neighbourhood planning, resident research, youth engagement, working with underheard groups, community development, local communications or partnership-led outreach. The programme is compressed with the final report required no later then the end of November 2026.
