"Glowing Up" Topic Chats!!!

Hey everyone!

So, I'm really keen to revive Topic Chats! We've been thinking about how to make them even better than before, and one idea is to move them from Chatwee to threads here on the forum. This could make them easier to follow and allow more people to participate. But... I really want to know what you think! Do you prefer the live chat, or would threads work better for you?

To help us figure out what everyone wants, we've put together a multiple choice poll. Please vote for as many topics as you like that you'd be most interested in seeing covered in our revived chats! Your input is super important here.

Once we've got a good idea of the most popular topics, we'll create a rota so we have a schedule of interesting discussions to look forward to.

Here is the Strawpoll link: https://strawpoll.com/e7ZJaVBDBg3

We really want to make these topic chats as engaging and relevant as possible. So, please share all your thoughts and opinions! Do you have any other ideas for making them better? Any topics we haven't listed that you'd love to discuss? Any questions about the new format or anything else?

Let me know!

    I also wanted to ask a similar question too like @Chloe234 asked about whether would the threads just be a regular thing on weekdays. Or would it be just a one off thing a month or something similar to the special topics we did with finance?. Or would it be like the Friday support threads. As someone who does enjoy the live chats more, I think the threads would also just as be accessible as well for others because it's then at our own pace.

    Hey @Chloe234 , @Amy22 thanks for the questions! So I believe they would be like the Friday threads but just themed! :3

    In terms of frequency, I believe we are still ironing this out / would love your opinions around how often you would be interested in attending a themed thread - e.g. once a week / once a month?

    not aimed at me but think once a week like is was before. ( think it was once a week).
    ppl dont always need advice. sometimes all they rly need is a hand to hold. an ear to listen. and a heart to understand them. 🧸
