7 July Sector Forum and OVTRK August Update

This Forum Celebrating Matariki and the Voices of the Third Sector was convened by OVTRK to obtain feedback, from the city’s Third Sector (Not-for-Profit / Non-Government) Organisations (TSOs), on the 2015 research and consequent report by Dr Chrys Horn, Sarah Wylie, and Jane Mountier. The report was commissioned by the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority (CERA).

Approximately forty individual community leaders, from in excess of 50 organisations attended and participated in group discussions and a plenary session. These were structured around the four major well-being topic categories: social, economic, cultural, and environmental. The Forum focused primarily on the “Priority Actions” (as outlined on pages 29 and 30 of the published report).

Report now available “Getting it together – Third Sector in Post Recovery Christchurch”

See the report here.        

Hard copies may be collected from:

• Christchurch Community House, 301 Tuam Street
• Christchurch Migrants Centre, 166 St Asaph Street
• Canterbury Workers Educational Association WEA, 59 Gloucester Street

OVTRK welcomes your feedback.........  In particular it would be great to keep in touch with whatever is being planned next in the Sector.... should we organise another Forum to share ideas?

For your information a personal copy of this Report has been posted to each participant in the CERA Research Project.

Ensure that the story of your organisation is not lost
