Do you want to participate in decisions made for the New England electorate?
Voices for New England is a non-party-political incorporated association with membership from across the electorate
About
The movement shares a desire for a more meaningful connection between the people of the New England electorate and our political process. Voices for New England has no affiliation with any political party or independent candidate and welcomes membership and participation from anyone who lives within our electorate.
The formation of Voices for New England was motivated by Voices4Indi, who were originally inspired by the work of Mary Crooks of the Victorian Women’s Trust. Both organisations used the Kitchen Table Conversation (KTC) process to revitalise and energise their community.
We are now bringing Kitchen Table Conversations to the New England Electorate to gather community concerns and ideas and place these at the centre of the political process.
