Community Covid Recovery Planning

The impacts of the Covid pandemic on rural communities have been immense. In 2020 Jen was asked to plan, facilitate and report on two online forums for 60+ community leaders in Anglesea. A community-driven initiative, the purpose was to identify the social, wellbeing and economic impacts on Anglesea businesses, community groups and clubs due to the pandemic, and to develop evidence-based strategies and actions to facilitate the town’s recovery. Each forum was evaluated by participants, to inform similar processes that were being considered in other areas.
