If you’re looking to influence decision makers at a local, regional or national level to support your project, Boxed Off can help.
Our team of senior consultants have decades of experience supporting a wide range of built environment projects across the UK and are rooted in the areas and communities you need to engage with.
We have a community first approach, as we believe that to maximise the chances of being successful, you need to:
- Understand the context of the community
- Share your vision with the community as widely as possibly
- Build consensus within communities to support your vision
This approach ensures the possibility of building support throughout a community and minimising the risk of developing opposition to your project, as leaving people in the dark only creates space for speculation and opposition.
- Shree Hanuman Temple, Leicester – We are currently working with the trustees of the temple, to deliver the second only temple dedicated to Lord Hanuman in the UK which will provide extensive community benefits for the whole of Leicester.
