Our future direction
With funding from the Vincent Fairfax Family Foundation, It Takes a Town had a fantastic run in the 2484 postcode area between 2017 and 2021. In order to meet changing needs and opportunities in the local area, ITAT has morphed in to Imagine 2484.
Imagine 2484
Imagine 2484 is an antidote to the shared vulnerability and uncertainty that many of us are feeling as a result of living with the impacts of climate change, global conflict and an awareness that massive change is needed in our communities and world. Since 2022, Imagine 2484 has engaged over 500 locals in articulating a shared vision of a thriving, regenerative and safe future and the actions needed to create it.
Our aims are to:
Build shared vision and purpose as a means of recovery following extreme weather events, COVID-19 & the challenges presented by the high cost of living and a regional housing crisis;
strengthen community resilience by triggering actions that contribute to a regenerative and safe future;
develop new leaders and partnerships between diverse sectors; and
strengthen mental health and individual resilience.
In 2024, Imagine 2484 will engage several hundred young people in an education program to articulate what regenerative local futures could be like. These young people will also design and implement projects to help activate a regenerative future in the local area. If you’d like to be involved in our new direction, contact us.
