Community Circles              

We are thrilled to have received a funding grant from Mana Whaikaha to help us support the creation of more Community Circles and provide training and learning opportunities for Circle Starters.  We will also be running a series of workshops, one for whanau and one for students.  We are looking forward to working in partnership with Mana Whaikaha connectors. Here is the link to Lorna Sullivan’s recent blog on Community Circles  ( https://www.manawhaikaha.co.nz/news-events/blog/june-26/ ).

Working Together for Change Project                                                                                                                                                                                                            

Some of our teams have identified people to host conversations with people receiving support from Options.  We have some funding to trial new ways people receiving services can be involved in service development.  Hosts will be finding out from their peers what is working well in their life, what is not working well and what they want for their future.  Please contact Carol if you would like to be involved in supporting this exciting project.
