Community support
Through our years of experience engaging with many communities on community led projects and research, WIRE has sparked real change and worked alongside community members and leaders to create a sustainable transformation of skills and knowledge at the grassroots level.
Community Initiatives to Empower Change
WIRE has a deep connection with the community and the people we serve. Being a grassroot community organisation means that we don’t see ourselves separate from those who we serve. We are among them and see ourselves as part of the community. WIRE is deeply committed to collaboration and making a tangible outcome in the community. Our mission is to address critical issues and create opportunities for women and gender diverse people to achieve gender and economic equity.
With our community initiatives, WIRE aims to address the intersectional barriers diverse communities face in accessing mainstream services. We prioritise addressing issues that are important to each community and build capacity in leaders to influence change. We implement these initiatives by:
- Implementing a co-design process led by community members
- Training community leaders on issues that matter to them and empowering them to address these concerns
- Maintaining ongoing engagement with communities to ensure our work remains culturally relevant
How can we support your community?
We can support your community by working with your community members and leaders to build skills and knowledge so they can support their own people.
We can raise awareness in the community on a whole range of topics via our community education sessions such as WIRE support and services, financial abuse, family violence awareness, respect conversation about money, and separation and property settlement seminar.
To discuss support and future collaboration for your community, contact contact us via support@wire.org.au.
