Networking event held for Wimborne community groups
Planet Wimborne hosted the event at Wimborne Methodist Hall to give community groups the chance to network.
Many of the 30 community groups affiliated to local charity Planet Wimborne met up recently at Wimborne Methodist Hall.
Linda Bunting, chairperson of Planet Wimborne said: “We hosted a networking event last summer to hear from the community groups and the one thing they all said was that they did not get enough time for a chat to get to know each other better.”
The groups discussed how the UN Sustainable Development Goals (https://sdgs.un.org/goals) aligned with their activities to show how local actions have global connections.
Having heard about Planet Wimborne’s plans for the coming year, they discussed ideas for other possible collaborative projects. Over a vegetarian lunch, supplied by Sorrels Caterers, there was also the opportunity to consider who was not in the room and how close a fit they might be to Planet Wimborne.
Dr Neil Smith, one of Planet Wimborne’s directors said: “It was a really great day. Everyone had their say and we’ve come away with a lot to think about and do.”
