Project Update: March 2021

Thank you for having your say on how we can support volunteers, not-for-profit groups and residents. Over 880 people visited the project page, 238 people completed the survey, and 147 people attended the community workshops and sundowner event.

Everyone who completed the survey or attended a workshop went into the running to win a GoPro Hero 7. Congratulations to Michael of Hamilton Hill who was the lucky winner.

You told us that you would like the City to:

• Support community groups and organisations by providing funding, promotion and resources.
• Connect community groups and organisations by organising get-togethers, networking opportunities and open days.
• Promote volunteering opportunities and benefits, and make it easier to get involved.
• Recognise and acknowledge volunteers through awards events, breakfasts and certificates.

An infographic summarising what you told us is here, and the full feedback report is here.

We are using your input to inform our new Volunteer Strategy and to refresh our Community Development Strategy. These strategies will guide how we support individuals and groups in making a difference in our community.
