At Firefly Bay & Basin, we know the best conversations don’t usually happen in boardrooms; they happen over coffee.

Over the next few weeks, we’re hosting a series of Community Voice Coffee Catch-Ups at local cafés across the Bay & Basin. These are relaxed, welcoming spaces where you can sit down with us and chat about the Bay & Basin Community Voice survey, no speeches, no presentations, just real conversation.

Our Community Voice survey is helping us build a clearer picture of how our community supports children and young people. What’s working well? What could be stronger? What might we be missing?

While plenty of people are happy to share their thoughts online (and we love that!), we also know that sometimes it’s easier to talk things through face-to-face. Conversation can feel more natural, and sometimes you don’t know what you think until you say it out loud.

These catch-ups are a chance to:

• Talk through the Community Voice questions

• Share your lived experience, ideas and observations

• Ask how the data will be used and how it will be shared back

• Connect with other locals who care about the wellbeing of children and young people

There’s no formal agenda and absolutely no pressure to have all the answers. Just open conversation, listening well, and learning together.
