Inspiring Communities mentioned in Parliament
Alfred Ngaro, until recently a Trustee of Inspiring Communities, has been elected as NZ's first Member of Parliament of Cook Island descent. In his maiden speech given on 21 December 2011, leading the address in reply to the Speech from the Throne, Alfred said:
"I have worked with philanthropic entrepreneurs like Stephen Tindall and The Tindall Foundation to support the development organisations like Inspiring Communities, a home grown, Kiwi approach to sharing the learning stories that have inspired innovative community solutions up and down this country."
Watch the speech.
Inspiring Communities has been working since 2008 to grow the recognition, understanding and practice of community-led development and promote the difference it makes in Aotearoa New Zealand.
Community-led development helps build strong, sustaining, local communities. We are seeing it.
"Community-led development offers a great opportunity for business, philanthropy and government agencies to support local residents in making their own communities even better places to live."
