I love when children learn something that’s common knowledge, but to them it’s a brand new fact to share with the world. They’re so enthusiastic.

Anyone know any community organisations that in the last five years have entered into a government contract to provide social services?

I need one more organisation for my #PhD research into government contracts and public service motivation.

Anywhere in New Zealand! Any kind of community organisation delivery social service!

***Please retoot!***

Happy to chat about my research. You can email me at sara.passmore@vuw.ac.nz for more information.
