Community Conversations Follow-Up Meetings – January 2026

Last year, people from across Powys took part in local Community Conversations, sharing what matters most to them.

These conversations helped shape key priorities in each area and highlighted the value of local knowledge, lived experience, and community connections.

To build on what was discussed and to ensure local voices continue to be heard, we’re inviting people who took part previously –  as well as others with an interest in their community – to attend a series of follow-up meetings taking place across the county in January 2026.

What are the follow-up meetings about?

These sessions will provide an opportunity to:

  • Revisit the key priorities that emerged from last year’s Community Conversations
  • Reflect on what’s happened since those discussions took place
  • Work together to explore next steps
  • Learn more about additional resources and support that may be available through the project to help develop ideas and strengthen local action
