Getting Involved is a
non-profit project
providing free
information and advice.

GETTING INVOLVED
A strong community offers companies the best opportunities to prosper and, therefore, it makes good sense for companies to work with other businesses, community groups and government to address local issues and make their community stronger.

The Getting Involved website shows a range of helpful information for business people in Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula who wish to support their community, but not necessarily with a donation.

The website provides case studies of local business people already helping their community, gives lots of suggestions and shows fifty ways you can support your community. Help is offered to business people, if required, with John Murphy and Vicki Martin making themselves available to discuss the pros and cons of becoming involved in supporting the community.

FRANKSTON VOLUNTEER PARTNERSHIP PROJECT
Volunteers provide invaluable input into the communities where they work. Their activities have a positive impact on many different aspects of the environment, in addition to their own personal development and wellbeing.

The Frankston Community Support and Information Centre has spent approximately two years working in partnership with Frankston City Council on a Department of Planning and Community Development funded project, the Frankston Volunteer Partnership Project, to prepare for the implementation of a Volunteer Resource Service in Frankston. This service will provide information and advice, training and other resources (for individuals and organisations) to facilitate the effective matching of ‘would be’ volunteers to opportunities plus raise the profile of volunteering across all communities. The service will become operable in October 2009 and will be located at Frankston Library.
