Trust Matters

Empowering Community Trusts IN REIPPPP

This initiative is an investment in exploring the full spirit of community ownership. We aim to empower community trusts in REIPPPP, mobilise community leadership and drive developmental impact. 

Objectives

Networking Opportunities

Connect with fellow trustees, share insights and foster a common understanding for long-term collaborative success.

Foster Best Practices

Create a conducive environment for the exchange of insights, successful models, and proven strategies to identify and integrate best practices.

Expand Connections

Broaden the reach of support to existing and new trusts, including trustees and those working in support of trusts.

Build Capacity

Equipping trustees and those supporting trusts
with available resources and new knowledge.

In early 2024, INSPIRE hosted a series of REIPPPP Community Trust Connect workshops in Cape Town, Gqeberha, and Kimberley. These workshops were designed to build networks among community trustees and other stakeholders from REIPPPP trust boards, to connect, learn, and collaborate. Through networking sessions and group discussions, attendees shared insights, challenges and strategies. We captured the insights from these workshops into a graphic harvest. 

The infographic provides harvesting insights from the Community Trusts Connect workshops held in early 2024. This visual journey captures the collective challenges, strategies, and steps forward as discussed by community trustees and other stakeholders in our recent workshops.

Trust Maturity Framework

The project developed a Trust Maturity Framework to aid various members of the trust support ecosystem across four key elements influencing trust efficacy. Through various in-person and online workshops with REIPPPP stakeholders, we have been able to consult on and to co-design this approach. The Framework is going to form the basis of the self-assessment tool for trusts that is currently in development.
