Just wanted to say a huge thank you for all the work you are doing to support our communities – you are sooo good at what you do!! It’s also fantastic to see the number of migrant community groups accessing your support, and having the connection with SociaLink, it’s so awesome to see!

We’ve had a funding workshop. Then from their workshop we were able to put in a [successful] funding application to [funder] using tools they gave us.

I think it would be a terrible loss if they were to not exist. There would be a lot more agencies fumbling around in the dark trying to find the light switch. SociaLink is often the light switch – to show us what is happening, help us write out funding applications.

If [SociaLink] wasn’t there – then we are left to look for the funding opportunities and hope we chance upon them. We’d be left to figure out what the funders are looking for. Because you don’t know.

Tracy is wonderful in her funding support and is user-friendly to the sector, being able to explain to the sector [what is needed]. When the funding rounds come [we let people know] about the funding training. If we get applications in that are not well done, then we will refer for [them to SociaLink] for one-on-one support.
