Paving the way for the next generation of Regional Meetings

We are delighted to announce a new, streamlined process that empowers members to independently host a Regional Meeting. Through this innovative initiative, our primary goal is to help support increased collaboration and engagement among our members.

We believe that restructuring our Regional Meetings will enable more of our members to facilitate informal gatherings, fostering mutual support as well as nurturing the strong sense of community that characterises the almshouse movement.

We have developed a user-friendly template to make hosting regional meetings easy. Whether you’re a seasoned event organiser or new to this role, this resource will be invaluable in planning and executing a successful meeting.

If you encounter any challenges or have questions along the way, we are here to support you.  Send us the date and timings for your meeting in our email invitation template along with information on your guest speaker and we will email members your invitation.

Read our checklist before organising a meeting to ensure you have the facilities to be able to support an event. Using our template invitation, you can then decide on a date and timings and source a guest speaker/s.

Once we have received these details, we can then organise for the invite to go out and will include your contact details so they can connect with you directly.

We’d love to hear about your experiences and success stories with this new process. If you have any feedback or suggestions for improvement, please don’t hesitate to reach out to gerryharmon@almshouses.org. Your input will help us continue to enhance this initiative for almshouse members.

We look forward to seeing the continued positive impact of these regional meetings and the collaboration they will foster among our members.
