00:16Coming from metro to regional myself, I have found that young people are feeling socially
00:22isolated and again lack of transport, lack of events, it kind of is, well there's nothing to

00:31What we're talking about is building community right, so community development and one of the
00:36main ethos of community development is that you know you've got to come, you've got to start from
00:41where the community is and so rather than build and they will come, actually asking what they would
00:48like to make themselves feel more socially connected or less socially isolated.
