What issues really matter to you? Let us know

BBC News is dedicated to serving you, the audience. We are launching a new initiative called Your Voice, Your BBC News, which aims to gather your opinions on the stories that matter most to you. We want to understand what issues are significant in your lives, what topics you believe deserve more attention, and where you think we should focus our reporting efforts. This initiative builds on a previous project we conducted during the recent UK general election, where we invited you to engage more actively with our journalism. We received an overwhelming response, and we want to express our gratitude to all of you who participated. You shared your thoughts on the issues that truly mattered to you, rather than just what politicians were discussing. This feedback guided us in covering stories that we might have overlooked, allowing us to include your personal experiences in our reporting on major topics such as housing, climate change, and the National Health Service (NHS). Your inquiries also shaped our interviews with politicians, ensuring that we addressed the concerns that were important to you. Our specialized reporters took the time to answer your questions, using the promises made by political parties in their manifestos as a basis for their responses. Throughout the election period, the Your Voice, Your Vote initiative reached millions of BBC News consumers across our digital platforms, television, and radio services. Audience research indicates that you found value in participating in this process. We at BBC News appreciated it as well, and we want to continue this partnership because it has helped us ensure that our work remains relevant and beneficial to you. We are excited to introduce an updated version of Your Voice, Your Vote that will allow us to connect with you not just during election seasons but throughout the year. We are calling this new initiative Your Voice, Your BBC News. We invite you to share your input and engage with us in our reporting across all areas of BBC News. You can reach out to us through our website or by filling out the contact form below. Alternatively, you can email us at bbcyourvoice@bbc. co. uk or send a message via WhatsApp at +44 7980 682727. We want to hear from you about the stories you believe we should cover.
