Who is your Community Development Officer?
I’m Gabi Hoskin, Community Development Officer for the Great Hollands area. I’ve always worked with people throughout my career. Previously, I carried out research in the charity and higher education sectors, always keen to adopt a bottom-up approach rather than going in with a prescribed notion of community needs. We’re lucky to have a good spread of community facilities in Great Hollands. Community development is a complex field but often people simply need a space in which to interact. My role gives me the opportunity to work with an array of partners to foster focus for communities.
