COMMUNITY PROJECTS
Stronger groups, stronger towns.
Community groups are the backbone of our region. I work with community organisations such as neighbourhood houses and community banks, along with committees and volunteer groups across North East Victoria, to design and manage projects, secure funding and build simple systems that last.
Sound familiar?
Community organisations have big ambitions and busy teams. Maybe you're here because…
You've got a project to deliver
A new program, facility or initiative, but your team doesn't have the capacity to design and run it.
You need funding
You want someone who can tell your story to grant bodies, then handle the reporting and acquittal.
You want to support local groups
You'd like to run a program that builds the capacity of the clubs and volunteer groups in your area.
Your team is stretched
Your staff and board are flat out. You need an experienced project manager who can step in.
How I can help
Project design and management
Grant writing and acquittals
Programs for local groups
Designing projects with your organisation, then managing the timelines, budgets, permits and suppliers to deliver them.
Finding the right grants, writing strong applications, and managing the reporting once funds arrive.
Capacity-building programs, workshops and health checks that help the clubs and volunteer groups you support to thrive.
Governance and reporting
Simple systems for compliance, reporting and evaluation, so you can show funders and your board the impact.
Strategy workshops
Bringing your board and team together to agree on priorities and a plan everyone can get behind.
Partner and stakeholder coordination
One point of contact for councils, contractors, funders and local partners, so everyone stays on the same page.
Community projects I'm proud of
Real projects with community organisations, and what they made possible.
Community Connect Mansfield
Built on what we learned from Unlock: a community directory, brand, pop-up skill sessions, a private Facebook group and mentor hours for listed groups.
Year one, with more to come
Key worker accommodation grant
Helped Alzburg secure funding for worker accommodation, tackling a key issue across regional Victoria.
Funding secured
Unlock Your Potential
With Community Bank Mansfield & District and ClubMAP: a 10-month program where five local volunteer groups received one-on-one support, a strategy workshop, health checks and training tools.
Five groups supported over 10 months
