Community Associations

For Purpose

Our local community groups, not for profits and charities do vital work in our communities.

At Towards Better we understand that you do this work year upon year while workload and cost of service delivery increase and funding and member and volunteer numbers decrease.

Our work in Community Development drives individual engagement in local activities, clubs, and groups. We find a lot of local organisations aren’t sure how best to support local engagement when community composition has changed over the years.

How do you create an inclusive environment when there has been changes in demographic?

How do you encourage engagement with Culturally and Linguistically Diverse community members?

Answering these questions are crucial to future-proof your organisation in a rapidly changing world.

I don’t need easy. I just need possible.

We work with you to create inclusive solutions that boost your membership and ensure all members feel genuinely connected to your organisation. If your focus this year is to increase the involvement of current and new members and secure a lasting future for your club in your local community then book in a consultation with Ricky.
