Location:

Led by

The purpose of community circles is to bring people from a local community together to share their skills, talents, gifts and resources. This idea is based upon the premise that ALL of us need three things in our lives to make us happy and fulfilled: these are money, friendship and meaning. We believe that everyone needs community, everyone needs to be heard and everyone needs to have fun.
Community Circles are based upon reciprocity and the assumption that EVERYONE has both gifts and needs - whether these are labeled or not. The circles adopt the fundamental value of inclusion that ‘all means all’, no one is excluded from community circles, and instead the circle members work out how to include everyone equally and safely.
Community circles provide a great foundation or starting point from which to explore connections, build relationships, locate resources and share skills. These circles will be a particularly important resource for Brokers and the people that they work for. They provide a safe forum in which people can meet and friendships can start, a natural reservoir of people and relationships where people can be invited to offer their time and capacity.

Who should attend? Support Brokers, Support Providers, Community Activists, Local Area Co-coordinators, Community Health partners, Councilors, politicians, community leaders and individuals who are trying to workout how to make our communities better places for us all to live.
