Community and Cultural Development

Community & Cultural Development includes:

  • listening
  • talking
  • planning
  • action

It includes

  • creative expression
  • training
  • support and
  • social gatherings.

When diverse groups of people come together to share ideas, skills and knowledge amazing changes can occur. This can happen

  • through support groups
  • through educational & leisure activities
  • through raising community awareness
  • through bringing people together to work on a shared vision and make a difference

By creating opportunities for social connections and friendships the supportive networks within our community are strengthened and can flourish.
