Robyn Morris

I am Robyn Morris, Manager of the Community Networking Trust, a NFP organisation based in Gore, Southland. We are a community provider of social services, community development initiatives, information sharing and networking, along with “Connected Eastern Southland” a Centre with shared space for agencies and services to operate from.  Having always been involved in community groups, mainly in the sports sector, working in a community organsation like CNT was a natural fit.

I was approached by WellSouth to see if I would take on the voluntary Postvention Chair role for Eastern Southland. I was fully supported by my organization  to take this on as it was well aligned to the organisations  vision, mission and strategic goals, as well as ensured that the coordination of this valuable work would continue in our community.

The most valuable part of this work for me is knowing that we have an incredibly well connected, caring and responsive community in Eastern Southland. We have built positive and respectful working relationships which ensures there is always someone within our community we can contact to provide support as required when someone is in need.
