We’ve been running loads of consultation and engagement events, workshops and meetings throughout 2025 – with almost 1,000 people so far. The initial consultation phase ended in October 2025 and the project moved into an implementation phase – looking at all the emerging themes and shaping recommendations for the next five years from them.

To keep up to date with project progress and be invited to respond to how the recommendations are shaping up so far, follow us on Facebook and Instagram  and ask katy.haigh@therumstory.co.uk to add you to the mailing list.
