“The webinars, and the new research that regularly arrives from the Community Research website through their email service, provides me with useful material to share with our members via e-mail and social media. This includes evidence to assist with standard setting or to make improvements, guidance on evaluation, and insights about the good work that is happening elsewhere in the country. I have also referred some of our government agency contacts to the Community Research website when they are exploring different community related topics.”

“Thank you for the great mahi you undertake and for the encouragement to undertake the discipline of research in all we undertake even if it’s informal – so much resource can be wasted because we don’t take stock, we don’t ask or engage with people impacted so any actions or development will be flawed. Kia Kaha.”
