Registrations for an online focus group have now closed.

We are holding a series of evening online focus groups with the intention of having deeper conversations with our community about the draft Budget 2020/21, which will be released for comment in mid-June.

Registrations closed at midnight on 14 June 2020. Registering your interest does not guarantee a place in a focus group. Community members will be selected based on set criteria to meet our objective of having a mix of people and voices involved in the conversation. It is important to include a broadly representative cross-section of our community in these discussions.

If you registered your interest we will contact you by 17 June to confirm your place.
