Ready Clarence

Mapping: The Ready Communities team are mapping a range of policies, programs, key stakeholders, funding and assets related to the Clarence (our current focus is on Grafton).

Stakeholder meetings: We have been having conversations with a range of Grafton based stakeholders to learn more about what’s going on in the community and more importantly to identify areas and opportunities that we can help activate during our program and upcoming conference, Social Impact in the Regions (3-5 September).

Readiness events: We are currently supporting the development of several Readiness events – events we will invite interested community members to learn about the promoted theme (e.g. social enterprise, local food, regenerative economies – could be anything where there’s momentum!), to connect and to build readiness among the local community. The events will be held between April and July and will be promoted via our networks, social media and here.

Social Impact in the Regions: Our national conference is on the way to Grafton – watch this space for updates. Our base is the Barn at Grafton Showground and we will deliver a range of activities throughout the local community.

Amplify: Following the conference we will produce our annual white paper which will highlight opportunities identified during our time in the Clarence. We will also link people leading opportunities identified with our broader network for continued support.
