PROJECT
Strengthening Community Connection
COMMUNITY
A community organisation seeking to strengthen connection across staff, volunteers, and the people they support.
A community organisation wanted to strengthen connection across staff, volunteers, and the people they support.
They had many wellbeing activities in place, but these were not aligned or clearly understood.
People were working hard, but not always working together.
The organisation wanted to:
- understand their wellbeing practices
- identify gaps and duplicationbuild a shared language
- create a more connected, human‑centred approach
This created the foundation for an RBW‑aligned process.

Our Approach
We used a respectful, collaborative method that centred the voices of the community.
Step 1 — Listening to the Community
We met with staff and volunteers to understand their experiences, strengths, and challenges.
Step 2 — Mapping Wellbeing Practices
We created a clear map of existing supports, routines, and activities.
Step 3 — Identifying Gaps and Opportunities
Together, we explored where connection was strong and where people felt isolated or unsure.
Step 4 — Co‑Designing a Connected Approach
We facilitated workshops to co‑design a more aligned wellbeing system that reflected the community’s values.
Step 5 — Building Confidence and Shared Ownership
We supported the organisation to embed the new approach with clarity and confidence.
