Inspiring Communities, Volunteer Marlborough, REAP Marlborough and Marlborough District Council present this CLD Skills Workshop - Working Together in Community-Led Change

A community thrives when locals connect and collaborate to realise the potential of their place. Partnering enables us to unlock resources, create new ideas, leverage our strengths, and creatively mobilise to tackle both complex challenges and opportunities.

This workshop will help you:

Expand your capacity to hold and maintain diverse relationships
Strengthen your partnering approach
Prioritise your time and relationship investment
Apply tools to build trust and sustain stakeholder relationships
Establish steps to map and tap into the strengths of your wider community
Identify new allies, connections, and strategies for ‘joining up’

“Helpful, motivating, revealing, encouraging and uplifting”

Meet your Facilitator Kindra Douglas

Kindra is driven by seeing movement in individuals, groups and communities to generate change. With a background in working for affordable housing, trained as both a teacher and a counsellor, founding chair of Nelson Tasman Housing Trust in 2004, and founding Director of the Victory Community Centre in 2007, she is a person who’s not afraid to look through a different lens to bring people together. Kindra offers her Pathways to Power personal development course to women in Nelson, is an active Trustee on Community Action Nelson where they advance perception changes in different ways to be housed, and how more affordable housing can be created. With a full and rich professional career in collaborating and connecting people, Kindra is always looking for ways to connect communities and help them find ways to look after their people.
