Wellbeing economy community facilitation through social and creative enterprise development.
#PARTOFMORE is an initiative of the Makers Valley Partnership that aims to enable, connect, and support the many changemaking organisations (Non-profits and/or Social Enterprises) that exist in the Makers Valley local area with the main outcome of uniting towards a common vision and creating a collective impact. #PARTOFMORE through the SEF will contribute to alleviating the many and various social issues faced in the Makers Valley area (which includes Bertrams, Lorentzville, Judith’s Paarl, Troyeville and Bez Valley) by creating 120 jobs for the local people of our community with a preference for Women and Youth who through Makers Valley Partnership will provide the on-the-ground support and capacity for our local partners and their change-making projects.
“This work fits incredibly well as the overall work brings us closer towards our vision of a Wellbeing Economy, the multi-disciplinary nature (which includes Placemaking, Community Safety, Food Security, Education Support, Community and Public Art, Youth Support and Recreation as well as Social Innovation) showcases and emphasises the project title #partofmore and illustrates the importance of how all the individual organisations and the work that they do contributes to the overall impact and common good of our community.”
