The first post-pandemic meeting of the Safer and Empowered Communities Forum will take place on Wednesday 23^rd November, 10am – 12pm, via Zoom (linked for your convenience).

The meeting can be access via the Zoom link, or with the meeting ID: 827 9299 8724.

Previously titled the Safer Communities Forum, the new Safer and Empowered Communities Forum, and its refreshed purpose, reflects a broadened focus to include community empowerment and recognises the intrinsic link between feeling safe in our communities, and feeling a sense of belonging, inclusion and empowerment.

We will be joined by Rayana from the Corra Foundation to talk about the new Household Hardship Fund. The Fund will open the day before the Forum, on Tuesday 22^nd November. Please note, a previous similar Fund was so popular it closed for applications earlier than anticipated so we encourage you to make your application as early as you can.

The meeting agenda is available to view or download as a pdf.
