Background:

Council is proposing to enter a funding agreement with The Touched by Olivia Foundation for the continuation of Community Circles in the Wingecarribee Shire. The proposal entails providing one off funding of $15,000 which will be matched by the foundation to employ a Community Facilitator.

The main objective of the Community Facilitator is to identify the need of an individual or group within the Wingecarribee, find a support group that may already exist and integrate, or create a new group of support with others seeking the same need. The goal is to get the groups up and running and self-sustainable and step back, this builds community capacity and builds social cohesion.
