Enhancing community groups with free workshop series

17 Aug 2022

Strathbogie Shire Council is hosting a series of free workshops to assist community groups in building their skills.

The Community Capacity Building Workshops will be held online covering two topics across four workshops.

Strathbogie Shire Council Mayor Cr Laura Binks said the first workshop Valuing Our Volunteers provided a simple framework for best-practice volunteer management and support.

“We want to support community groups, so their volunteers have a great experience working with them, and they get the best from their volunteers,” Cr Binks said.

“The session will cover how to recruit the best people to do the best job for your organisation, the essentials of supporting your volunteers to be their best and best-practice people management for working with volunteers.”

Cr Binks said the second topic Fundraising 101 would focus on a simple step-by-step approach to strategically fundraising organisations.

“This session covers how to assess your needs, and the best approaches to fundraising, how to develop an effective fundraising plan to help you move forward and where to go if you need further help to find funding,” Cr Bink said.

There will be a day and evening session for both topics at the end of this month.
