Spencer Rural Fire Brigade is opening the shed doors and inviting the community in.
Under the leadership of Captain Norm Cook and Community Engagement Officer Kristy Wilson, the brigade is launching the Spencer & Surrounding Area Community Connections Forum — a chance for local groups to come together, share ideas and support one another, find out what we are all up to so we can support each other. The initiative aligns with current brigade discussions around community engagement and community network invitations.
Representatives from the Spencer Community Progress Association, River Cares, the Men’s Shed, the Country Women’s Association, local sporting groups, Scouts, Guides, Local P&C Associations and neighbouring Rural Fire Brigades are invited to join us for a relaxed conversation at Spencer Fire Station, on at 1.00pm on Saturday 29th August.
One idea we’d like to explore is creating a shared community event calendar to help groups promote, avoid clashes and find opportunities to support each other.
Captain Norm Cook said, “The only way we can protect the community is through cooperation and the sharing of knowledge. We’d like to bring people together, share ideas and help each other make great things happen in our community.”
Community Engagement Officer Kristy Wilson said, “There are so many passionate people and community groups doing wonderful things. The Spencer Community Connections Forum is about getting everyone around the same table, building relationships and supporting each other’s success.”
Because when communities work together, everyone benefits.
