Network gives a real boost to the community

Julie:


Regular readers of the blog will know that both Kel and I have been involved in a number of networks with other service providers and local residents. One network that is working really well is the Urana/Oaklands one. This network met in Oaklands (see a map link below) on Mon and heard about lots of good things that are happening in the area. With support from various service providers the passionate people in the communities have been able to plan and organise many more events and activities. There have been some excellent women’s days, craft workshops and men’s night is planned for later this month, which Kel will be attending. There has also been increased interaction with services such as TAFE, mental health and Centrelink. It is great when a network manages to get it right in helping local people do things rather than take over.
