STRATFORD COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION
Join us in building a vibrant community where we come together to support each other and create lasting connections.
COMMUNITY RESEARCH PROJECT
We are thrilled to announce that we have been successful in our application to be part of the University of Canberra / Gardiner Foundation's 'Regional Wellbeing Project'.
The Regional Wellbeing Project will equip community leaders with tools to measure and act on wellbeing indicators specific to their region. It aims to deliver several key resources, including:
-
Regional Wellbeing Monitoring Hub - An online platform providing data and resources to track and interpret wellbeing indicators.
-
Local Wellbeing Frameworks - Bespoke frameworks co-developed with the three pilot communities. Lessons learned from this process will inform the design of the project’s monitoring hub, toolkit and other resources.
-
Wellbeing Framework Toolkit – A tool designed to help communities build their own wellbeing dashboards with relevant indicators.
-
Wellbeing Leadership Program – A capacity-building initiative to support rural leaders in making decisions informed by wellbeing data.
