2 community events that we felt were successful were 1) who's game(board games event organised by the youth network and 2) hike and shopping ( hike at labrador park and shopping at vivo city organised by hwan rc). Some successful pointers from both events that we can learn from are 1) Importance of publicity to reach out to more residents through word of mouth (finding enablers that can garner more people to participate), posters and social media 2) importance for activities that allow members to engage with participants and residents and also to interact with one another 3) importance of planning by coming up with a timeline in order to reach out to more participants, hence able to plan accordingly 4) importance of coming up with fresh ideas that can engage more residents, finding areas of interests that can attract more participants to try out new experiences

Gap:

For community events, we feel there is a lot of GRL involvement but how can we reach out to more Serangoon Residents, new faces for the community events.

Course of Action:

Review the event program such that we retain both GRL involvement and at the same time attract residents to continue at future events. As well as to create more incentive and interest for people to participate in community events

Gap:

To attract young working adults to be part of the GRL family and participate in the activities

Course of Action:

Create cause-based and interest based interest groups such that the presence of the community creates the incentive for these demographic to continue on for future community events

What are our current challenges ?

1. Language barriers .

2. GRL are not welcomed by residents during House visits .

3. Eg. RC or NC does not have a park or facilities for events /gatherings .

4. Shortage of volunteers/manpower thus limiting events .

5. Lack of a PME group that may have bridge Committees to locate volunteers .

6. Current teams composed of similar age group thus creating issues in recruitment or engagement .

What are the resources required to improve support

1. Manpower/ volunteers may help in improving events especially supporting the seniors . More Recruitment initiatives .

2. Locate new facilities to help NC / RC to address their venue issues .

3. More funding. $ for organizers :

4. Establish a resource management team / Rainmakers to connect and match resource and event.

5. A directory or knowledge-based tool to help GRL to understand Serangoon capability and available resources .

What are Resource Pages?

A resource page is a curated collection of links to external resources such as articles or tools. Resource pages are quite popular because they're relatively easy to create and provide value to visitors by cutting out the time needed to research and find the answer.

Why are Resource Pages important for SEO?

Resource pages are important for SEO for two reasons.

First, resource pages are helpful for the publisher by generating social shares and backlinks from those mentioned on the resource page. Second, external resource pages can be used for link building.

Second, resource page link building is one of the most popular SEO methods. For example, if you have a resource that can bring value to the reader, such as an eBook or guide, you can reach out to the publisher of the resource page to get a link back to your resource.

SEO Best practices for resource page link building

1. How to Find Relevant Resource Pages?

There are a few ways to find relevant resource pages, but the most common is Google search operators. These are effectively advanced search modifiers that allow you to pull a specific set of results from Google. Here are a few examples of search operators you can use:

coffee intitle:resources inurl:links.html

coffee intitle:links inurl: resources.html

coffee inurl:.com/resources

coffee inurl:resources intitle:resources

If you're an Ahrefs user, you can easily collect resource pages with the SEO Toolbar. It extracts the Google search results and downloads each SERP to a CSV file. You can also use Ahrefs to reverse-engineer your competitors' resource page links using the backlink checker.

2. How to vet this list?

After you've downloaded what might seem like thousands of resource pages, you need to vet the pages.
Analyze these pages in a Batch Analysis report. Your main target should be pages on relatively high-DR websites. Ideally, those that get at least some organic search traffic.

When manually reviewing the pages, you need to pay attention to the overall page and website quality. The pages should also look like they're regularly maintained or updated. Then identify the gap where your link will add the most value.

3. How to Reach Out?

Once you have a list of vetted resource pages, you need to reach out and suggest your resource for their page. Typically, if your resource is relevant and adds value, all you need to do is let the right person know your content exists.

To do this, you should contact the person responsible for the page using their preferred method of communication and persuade them that your resource is worthy.

You can also check the resource page for broken outgoing links and report them to the webmaster or editor. The chances are high that your resource can be used as a replacement.

Group 5

Challenges:

resistance from people who have not worked with GRLs and have negative prejudice against them based on perceived associations.

For NCs, initially difficult to reach out. However over time, activities do attract young and old. Key is to plan many events and be persistent.

For Hillside: difficult to find venue for events e.g. street party because no communal venues like parks.

Many are not on social media, need to do outreach physical via flyers, can be tiring

RC: difficult in attracting youth

Motivation of GRLs, dismayed because residents don't entertain house visits initially

Difficult to reach out to condos

Resources needed:

Tap on existing interest groups

Venue for NCs

More dedicated volunteers - more cause based events to attract volunteers

Training for GRLs - communication skills

1. By incorporating pot luck during street party to encourage the idea of sharing, sense of responsibility and for everyone to participate instead of depending on the CC to provide.

2. Involve active residents in each constituency within the community to give some ideas and be part of the planning process. When residents are involved, they will enjoy participating more and also involve more of their friends and neighbors.

3. We can also gather feedback after each event so that we can improve on the future event and potentially involving them too.

4. Gardening - to include residents in beautifying the surrounding area

5. Suggestion to get new ideas/events to reach more people. We could potentially do more physical and outdoor events to attract more people, once they attend then they will find out more about the CC events.

6. To do focus groups and gather feedback as to what events to have in future.

7. To give more ownership, by delegating jobs to the community, such as cooking instead of catering.

8. To be facilitators rather than organizers. So that more residents can do more.

9. Interest groups - such as cooking and have the interested people ask their own friends to join also.

10. We have to identify the interest group “leaders” and get them to be involved and help gather more people.

group 4:

problems (*by younger people we mean 45 years old and below):

1)in terms of RC, its difficult to entice younger people. serangoon has an older demographic so it’s very difficult to get the youth to join RCs, especially when the events are mainly for older people. but also that’s because we’re not sure what events are suitable for youths.

2)social media is not really strong so many are not aware of RCs and that they can join

3)the activities we do are mainly for social gaps, but not to gel people together

4) Many younger members are busy with family,career so many don’t have time to join/commit

solutions:

1)Perhaps we could do house visits, get more youth to join.

2)we should aim to target middle aged people, we think alot of people want to volunteer but are not sure how to get started so by reaching out we can get more volunteers.

3)we can start interest groups/ networking groups so we can further extend the network

4)spread awareness as to why we volunteer and why others should volunteer - this might give people a stronger sense of purpose when it comes to volunteering and will choose to actively  participate more

4)spread awareness about difference between NCs and RCs because it might be very confusing for some
