have your say on the country you want to see

The National Conversation is a UK-wide listening initiative, inviting people right across the country to share what they value about community life and the kind of communities they want to build together.

Run by the Independent Commission on Community and Cohesion, the survey has previously been underrepresented by people living in social housing.

You can now have your say on The National Conversation website.

The deadline for completion is Monday, 31 August 2026
