As this was our first year as a CIC and a collective we had two priority groups: the membership and the communities local to our projects. Membership We ask everyone in the collective to fill in a short questionnaire about their shopping habits as well as provide feedback on our communication channels. This has helped us to build up a profile of members’ needs and what we can do to meet them more effectively. As the membership is growing, changing and the needs adapting to new scenarios, we regularly create these feedback sessions to hear the thoughts of the collective. Communities Wherever we are developing, facilitating or hosting our projects, we always ask for feedback from the local community.
