Support for Communities

For many months now people have been putting out COVID-sparked fires in our local and regional communities. Life- and job-saving government programs have engaged many philanthropic and nonprofit partners in their delivery, and where there were gaps, the sector stepped up again and again to ensure people were housed, fed, and provided care. Through this long winter, the sector will respond again as demand requires. 

While this important work continues, UpSocial believes we also need to look ahead to recovery. There will be an end to COVID-19 and we must think about the transition to ensure communities can regain their footing and reinforce their weakened infrastructure to grow forward, stronger. 

To this end, UpSocial Canada would like to work with you to do what we do best: build partnerships and creative collaborations of resident and organizational expertise to support improving people’s lives. 

LISTENING TO YOUR COMMUNITY

We can design and facilitate community enquiries to surface local challenges and the assets available to meet them. We will produce an informed series of interviews, insights and analysis.

SEEING THE OPPORTUNITIES IN YOUR COMMUNITY

We can identify and bring together safely a diverse cohort of your local stakeholders and supportive regional partners, to develop a shared understanding of the needs and opportunities present in your community. With a greater understanding of what’s possible, we can work together on an action plan.

WORKING TOGETHER ON ACHIEVING OUTCOMES

Understanding the needs and assets in your community is a great first step towards recovery. Identifying and supporting the scaling of best placed programs, organizations or collaborations may require some helpful external support. Beyond developing an action plan, we can provide some advice on a critical path to achieve positive outcomes at scale.
