Community Gathering Update, Thank You to Everyone Who Participated! 🌧️
Despite some challenging weather, our first community gathering outside Central Library was a great start! A huge thank you to everyone who came along, shared their thoughts, and gave feedback. Your voices really matter, and every comment helps shape what we do next.
We had around 15–20 participants, plus several passerbys who joined in for a while, and even managed to convince a busker to play and lead the chant, all in the rain! Events like this are about more than numbers; they’re about connection, understanding what the community cares about, and exploring how we can bring about positive change together.
This gathering was a “feeler” — a way to see where the community stands, what shared values matter most, and how we can support each other moving forward. If you couldn’t attend, don’t worry, you can still share your ideas, experiences, or skills, whether it’s through volunteering, providing feedback, or simply joining future gatherings.
We’re especially looking for volunteers who want to be part of the movement long-term, whether you have leadership skills, tech experience, organising abilities, or just a positive, collaborative attitude, there’s a place for you! Every contribution counts in helping us grow stronger together.
This is just the beginning. With your continued input and support, we can make a real difference. Let’s keep the conversation going, keep sharing ideas, and continue building the community we want to see! 💪✨
