This project is grassroots and community driven.
At the heart of this project is the knowledge that community are the experts and have the ideas and solutions to drive community change. This asset map was developed through conversations.
These conversations sowed the seeds to bring people together that shared similar passions and from this initiative groups have grown and will continue to grow.
