What is a Community Stakeholder?
Stakeholders are groups and individuals who have an interest in, are impacted by, or can make an impact on a certain issue or cause. Examples of community stakeholders include service providers, community organizations, businesses, community groups, neighbourhood associations, committees, and others.
For Connection in Action, community stakeholders are groups and individuals interested in supporting the health and well-being of older adults who live in Halton. Community stakeholders may offer services and programs for older adults and their families, such as faith-based groups, pharmacies, food banks, libraries, real estate offices, and more. Community stakeholders provide invaluable support to older adults and sometimes are the only point of contact for older adults.
Connection in Action values relationships with community stakeholders. Building relationships can help more and more older adults learn about how they can increase their social connections. Connection in Action looks forward to collaborating with community stakeholders.
