Community Conversations

Focus on the future, learning from the past

Following on from the survey findings, we now want to explore in more detail some of the themes and topics reflected in the feedback by running a number of smaller focus groups.

We want to hear more about what matters and is important to local people, whether you completed the community conversation survey last year or not we would like to invite applications from the public across Fife to participate in one of our focus group sessions.

Recruiting now for focus group participants

We are looking to recruit a representative sample of the population we serve to take part in one of our 13 facilitated focus group sessions scheduled to run from 19^th – 30^th September 2022 facilitated by an independent market research company – Progressive. 

For each focus group session, we are looking to recruit 8 members of the public to have an informal discussion through a programme of early evening / evening online sessions lasting for around 90 minutes.

The focus groups will require representation from our 9 defined localities:
