A NEW CULTURAL CENTRE FOR HEALING - BLACKTOWN, NSW
Volunteer Susanne with Darug Strategic Management group at a 2 day workshop last year.
Dharug Strategic Management Group (DSMG) is a new organisation with the dream of opening a cultural centre for sharing, teaching and healing on the Blacktown Native Institution site in NSW - a key historical landmark which was handed back to community late 2018. To help DSMG make their dreams reality, Community First Development was invited to work with them on two projects.
Our skilled volunteer, Russell, has been working alongside DSMG on the first project to develop a strategic plan. The Board members have great ideas and knowledge - and are seeking clear direction to narrow these down into achievable goals with realistic timeframes. Another skilled volunteer, Susanne, has been working with the Board on the second project creating policies and procedures to ensure good governance, risk management and respectful communication across all stakeholders.
