Play your part in Wychavon life – join our advisory panels
Looking for an opportunity to help shape local policy and influence decisions that affect communities across Wychavon?
Applications are sought to join two of the district’s advisory panels – one each on the Communities and Funding Advisory Panel and Town Centres Advisory Panel.
Interested individuals need to have relevant experience, strategic thinking skills and a passion for Wychavon’s future.
For the Communities and Funding Advisory Panel, which meets on Mondays at 2.30pm, we welcome applicants with:
- Experience in community leadership, engagement, funding, or community rights
- The ability to assess community funding applications
- A broad interest in the Wychavon district.
For the Town Centres Advisory Panel role, which meets on Mondays at 10.30am, we are looking for individuals with:
- Knowledge of town centre planning, revitalisation, investment or tourism
- Interest in all three towns – Droitwich Spa, Evesham, and Pershore
- Insight into the challenges facing one or more of these towns.
Panel members must be able to commit time to attend meetings (around six per year) and contribute to activities. A connection to or knowledge of the Wychavon district is desirable.
The roles involve working alongside councillors and officers, offering constructive challenge, support and fresh ideas. While these roles are voluntary, travel expenses and training are provided. The advisory panels support Wychavon’s Executive Board by providing advice and helping to develop policy.
Cllr Richard Morris, Leader of Wychavon District Council, said: “We welcome applications for these valuable roles. They offer a great opportunity to help support and influence the Council’s work and decision-making, working alongside our officers, bringing new ideas and offering constructive challenge.”
Applicants must be 18 or over and able to attend at least four meetings a year. The term runs from autumn 2025 to 31 May 2027.
You cannot apply if you are a Wychavon District Councillor or employee. Parish or town councillors or employees are welcome to apply if they can offer additional experience beyond their council role.
