Write up of feedback from client after presentation- Geena

General feedback to the whole group:

-DCM is a good brand for the people in need but the donating public don't understand
-The homeless know who they are as they are usually referred to DCM
-There's a certain urgency to end homelessness by 2020
-Huge lack of affordable housing, need to provide long term shelter (not emergency shelter)
-Structuring in next year election 2020 as deadlines
-Korero (key word)

Feedback to our group specifically:

-Dossier is very corporate looking
-What's the pitch to the other companies to help?
-What if those without time didn't fill out the survey?
-Give context to statistics
-Is it individuals or an organisation that we're targetting?
-We want to set up a suitable system. (eg. how can we amplify existing systems?) (systems being the dentistry and book fair)
-We need to bring replacements for the book fair
-Likes that we can make sustainable outcomes: and done out of DCM time (so DCM can help the tau mai), group relation make it more sustainable than just individuals, not just time and skills we're acquiring but also networks, networks are a big thing people can offer us(DCM), in back of annual report + bottom of book fair poster shows people already affiliated.
-Have been supported by people in real estate
-Events -> eg. movie help advertise DCM, (video short before the movie and flyers at the event)

-We outlined seperate bites, but they are all connected
 1. wanting to re-vamp website etc.
2. Addressing organisations/people with skills

-Raising awareness doesn't necessarily cause people to take action

-Housing first (DCM's focus)

-Like the word 'hook' (what is it that we can give them for them to become a partner?)

-If we had merchandise champions etc. how to match people with time to do these things?
-Merchandise itself needs a call to action

-The barriers to job are quite far, eg. housing + mental illness as barriers

-What's the new book fair? How can the book fair evolve?

-We get high quality books. The people who give those are opportunites to address?

-Are there objects other than books?

-City mission - more about families + debt

- It is a Wellington only thing, so shouldnt it be more aligned with wellington?

"Its a caring community when you give the tools to understand"

-DCM sits on the site of te aro pa, and 47% of tau mai are maori, we are a place that totally supports maori people. We want to provide the support that the pa gives. It can be subtle, we dont want to look like just a maori organisation.

-Could we have a DCM book fair online? -> need a champion to do it -> anyone with an idea/skills to implement an idea/group

-We have to own the ideas & find a way to implement them.
