Community Engagement
Community engagement is a way to help people and community groups to work together with public and private organisations. Working together can help to make the community a better place to live, with improved and more sustainable services that meet people’s needs. Good community engagement happens when all groups including seldom heard minority groups are engaged. MP Smarter Travel has expertise and experience in both community engagement and sustainability project delivery. Our model consisting of a core team of project managers and consultants, with access to a large pool of engagement specialists, means that we can deliver community engagement work to scale.
