How do we build better conversations about planning Greater Manchester?

The Democratic Society (Demsoc) is a charity that works for more and better democracy, where people and institutions have the desire, opportunity and confidence to participate together.We work to create opportunities for people to become involved in the decisions that affect their lives and for them to have the skills to do this effectively. We support governments, parliaments and any organisation that wants to involve citizens in decision making to be transparent, open and welcoming of participation. We actively support spaces, places and processes to make this happen.For more information on how we will use the data you have provided above, please see point 2 of ourprivacy policy.
