The Communities Managing Change Programme is shaped and informed by a steering group, whose role is to:

• advise on the approach
• question and evaluate findings
• help make links with other relevant work and policy
• test ideas arising from the research
• review draft reports prior to publication

The group includes representatives from Barrow Cadbury Trust, The Chamberlain Forum, the University of Birmingham, and local community and voluntary organisations.

The group meets every 2 -3 months, with the next meeting due to take place in October 2012
