What is Making it Happen?
Making it Happen is about discovering, celebrating and building on the positive things in our local neighbourhoods. We are here to support communities to come together, make the most of the opportunities and create positive change.
We use an Asset Based approach to working with communities:
‘Asset-based community development begins with the gifts of people and their capacity to organize to create the world they want to see’ (ABCD Institute).”
We believe that everyone has skills and talents to offer their community. When these skills and talents are shared, the community thrives and becomes stronger.
