Join New Lived Experience Steering Group

Posted on: June 10, 2026

The Essex Alliance is sharing this opportunity on behalf of the University of Essex and Essex County Council.

We are inviting people to join the Making It Count Steering Group, a project run by Essex County Council and the University of Essex.

The project aims to develop a practical toolkit to help community organisations, charities, commissioners, and public health teams understand and show the difference their work makes.

We would like to hear from:

• Local residents who have completed feedback forms or surveys about services they have used (such as community groups, food banks, or wellbeing activities)

• People who work or volunteer in organisations that provide these types of services

If you are interested, please take a look at the attached flyer for more information about the role, support available, and payment for taking part.

To express your interest, please complete the short online form here: Expression of Interest Form

We would also appreciate it if you could share this invitation with colleagues, community groups, and local residents who may be interested.

We would love to hear from you.
