What you can do together you can never do alone

Organisations working together for children and families

Not-for-profit organisations including faith-based organisations and institutions often see each other as strategic competitors. But what if we saw each other as allies? Allies working together towards a community where children thrive and families are supported.

This webinar provided learning and practice examples of how community organisations can work together to achieve a common goal. Featuring voices from the local community, the webinar heard from a community leader, NAPCAN’s NT Manager and prevention practitioner, as well as a leader in the faith-based space.

Discussions included:

• organisations working together in marginalised communities
• how to engage the community in conversations
• connecting communities from a faith-based perspective
• tips for community members wanting to be heard
• examples from principles and motivations from other communities
• community consultation and program development

Speakers:
Dr Coz Crosscombe, Community Engagement Pastor and consultant to the Anglican Diocese
Marly Wells, Manager Family and Community Engagement, Connected Beginnings
Meron Looney, NT Manager, NAPCAN
