Restorative thinking helps us to build and maintain good community relationships. This workshop is a chance to get a discussion going. It will be very interactive rather than long presentations. Let's get talking. Sessions will cover topics such as building connections, developing our confidence in brave conversations and self-facilitation, the role for faith groups in promoting restorative thinking and practice.
Sarah Thorne from ANCAD will assist us to think about how we might give and receive effective feedback. We'll play a game which demonstrates the importance of giving feedback and then explore why feedback is so important. And we'll have a go. Rebecca Smith will ask, 'Do you belong?' Her session will consider connections/relationships and how they resound with our sense of belonging. And how this can work in a community or at a street level. Rebecca works for Neighbourhood Support. Kim Bulluss will help us to explore assumptions and personal truths. Erica Fairbank will share some insights on communication secrets: reconnecting through the Language of Every Body. Richard Ward, a prison chaplain and chaplain service manager, will draw on his experience to consider how we can make our conversations safe and a safe place to be; on listening beyond and behind the words. Richard will ask us to think about recognising prejudice, valuing the humanity of the other and appropriately asking challenging questions. Greg Morgan will offer a very brief intro to the thinking behind this workshop. There will be space for all participants to share thoughts and questions.
(Note: this is non-denominational and not an in-church activity.)

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

59.8% Yes, supporting people is important!
