East LAC: how to get involved
The East LAC is your chance to have a say on the issues that matter most to you and your community. It’s a space where residents can help shape decision-making, share their opinions and contribute to positive changes across East Sheffield.
Public meetings
We want everyone to feel part of the conversation. That’s why we host public meetings in each of the 4 wards to give residents the opportunity to engage directly with local councillors and community partners.
Our public meetings include themed workshops, where you can take part in focused discussions around key local topics. These events are a great way to meet others in your community, hear about the work going on locally and raise any issues or ideas you might have. We also provide free food and refreshments to make the meetings more welcoming and accessible to all.
For information on upcoming meetings, or to raise an issue you'd like discussed, contact your local councillor or get in touch with us.
Volunteering
Want to make a difference in your community? Join a local group, volunteer, or attend one of our events.
