respect by those who work with me or my
family
To feel safe in our streets and parks
To have a voice about the services I receive
To easily get information about what’s going on in
my area
Support to get access to training and jobs
To be able to start a group or volunteer in my
communityA Community
Suggestion Box
Start getting to know our community street by street and see who can
help and who needs help
Can we create somewhere to go to meet
other people
We are worried that there are hard to reach families
and children in our community who need our
help We would like to get all generations involved,
including grand-parents

Points to reflect on......
What are my values and what do I believe in?
How well do I know my “community”?
How can I develop my links and relationships with others?
How can I get to those I’m not getting to...?
Skills, capabilities, experience...do I have them? How do I develop them? Capture them somewhere else?
How do I know how effective my contribution is?
