Shaping our Future Charitable Trust

We are a registered charity operating in the Upper Clutha and Queenstown Lakes districts. A registered charitable trust, we have two part time staff and seven people currently serving on our Board of Trustees. 

What we do: we help communities to participate meaningfully in local decision-making processes.

Why we do it: because decisions are better when more voices are heard. Not all residents have the time, capability, resources or skills to present at public workshops or to publicly submit on plans and changes that will impact their way of life.

How we do it: we meet people where they are. Using surveys, workshops and visioning forums (depending on the project and the needs of the community), we gather information, set up community-led working groups and collate community feedback into reports for decision-makers

We do this so that all residents have an equitable opportunity to voice their opinions, provide input and help to shape the future of their community.
