Jo,
You could have a look at the Home Office website - http://www.crimereduction.gov.uk/activecommunities74.htm. This is a useful report - Facilitating community involvement: practical guidance for practitioners and policy makers - that can be adapted for museum and heritage folk.
I know Nina Baptiste at the Yorkshire MLAC has good things to say about working with communities. I assume your own regional MLAC will have an equivalent person dealing with audience development.
Best wishes,
Don Henson

Subject: Consulting your local communities
Dear all
I am working with a smallish LA funded museums service that would like to
establish a sustainable way to consult with its local communities.
I am really interested to hear from anyone who has developed an effective
and sustainable mechanism for doing this, resources always being an issue!
If you reply off list, I will collate answers and post back.
Thanks in advance.
Best
Jo
