[Dr Dayo Eseonu, @deseonu on that blue thing @deseonu]

I am going into my second term as trustee and it’s been great to support the work that Involve leads on in the UK Democracy sector. I am learning lots and sharing my expertise on making participatory and deliberative processes more inclusive of voices that are typically ignored!

🗣️ "I'm helping the public to have their voices heard on a range of issues".

If like @deseonu you want to make a real difference in strengthening our democracy, then a role on our Board of Trustees could be for you.

@belfastcc @Community At Involve we believe that decisions should be informed by those whose lives they will affect.

It leads to better decisions and stronger trust between communities and decision makers.🗣️

🤔 How do you build a city shaped by its people?

Imagine a city where decisions are made with communities, not just for them.

Introducing the Belfast Co-Design Framework—a tool to make collaboration real, practical, and impactful.

Here’s how it came to life.

🧵👇

[involve @involveUK]

@belfastcc @Community It’s a tool for designing solutions that are inclusive, thoughtful, and effective.✅

Why does this matter?

This the first time something of this nature was commissioned by a local government in NI, and it represents how important it is that co-design is done well.

Democracy is key to tackling the challenges we face, but it isn’t working as it should.

[involve @involveUK]

📑 We recently published a paper ahead of the government's publication, with five recommendations on how to deliver what so many communities need, based on the idea that people have a right to determine how they are governed.
