Community Engagement Fund 2018-2019 (18/1532) Memorandum dated 21 September 2018 by the Community Advisor - Funding and Community Contracts. |

|
|
The Community Advisor – Funding and Community Contracts elaborated on the memorandum. Members discussed both funding applications. They expressed concern regarding the Hutt Valley Camera Club and in particular how the 2019 conference directly benefitted the central community. They noted that the conference would not necessarily attract members of the wider community because there was an attendace fee. Members requested that the officer make the following suggestions to the Hutt Valley Camera Club regarding how the 2019 conference could be more accessible to the community: · Engage with staff at the Hutt City Libraries with the possibility of holding an exhibition displaying photographs after the conference; · Offer opportunities to local high school students to engage with and be a part of the conference; and · Engage with the Taita Clubhouse and Naenae Clubhouse where they have students who are very passionate about the arts. Members requested that funding recipients be asked to attend a meeting of the Panel in 2019 to report on their completed projects. |
