The Challenge & Solution
Relying solely on traditional forms of community consultation often gathers feedback from a limited, unrepresentative group, leading to decisions being made without input from the wider community. We don’t think this is fair.
Our solution is to reach more people, bringing consultation to the silent majority, allowing communities to collaborate at scale. Our goal is to make community engagement easy, impactful, and maybe even fun.
How we do it
Create visual & engaging surveys that make it easy for the community to contribute. This means we gather increased levels of data that allows for better decision-making in planning and ahead of submission.
Surveys are optimised for mobile use, to ensure community members interact when it suits them.Community members are brought to GMV through targeted digital marketing that is very specific to a project’s location.

For Emerging Policies
When you’re preparing development plan documents you can use Give My View to meet people where they are - engagement in the palm of their hand.
You can reach communities in over 15 languages and ask them about issues that really matter to them, and help build a real connection between them, the future, and their place within it.
For Developments
Basic consultation gets basic responses. If you’re only speaking to a minority who are motivated to object is it any wonder that the objections roll in?
By meeting people where they are - online and not in a town hall - and by asking them about parts of your developments that matter to them, we can supercharge your consultation and tap into a supportive or agnostic majority and give decision makers a more balanced view of public opinion.
What Give My View users have to say
What we're trying to do is mobilise that silent majority to come out and talk about; why they like the scheme, why they think it's important for their local community, why they think it's beneficial for future generations and by doing so, we can mobilise that broader support and effectively use it to demonstrate that whilst there's a small minority of people who don't like it or not happy with what is being proposed, a lot more people are in support. This is why we will always recommend Give My View, it give us the chance to hear from that silent majority whose opinions are just as valuable and important.

The Give My View platform provided a great solution to being able to obtain local people’s views and perceptions which will can be used to determine priorities and actions to be included in our plans to bring about positive change to our high streets in the future... Without Give My View it would’ve proven difficult to engage the 4000+ people who chose to participate in the consultation. We would certainly welcome the opportunity to use Give My View for future consultations and would highly recommend it to others.
