Communications Team

Website Design
Zoë Brock of WWD kindly donated the design of our new website to us, and from time to time we still hassle her for expert advice.

Website Content & Maintenance, and Social Media Communications
Jessica McDougall

  • Jess worked closely with Zoë and put in a monumental effort migrating a massive amount of content over to our new site. She continues to work on website content and maintenance, and social media posts. Jess is also secretary of the Playgrounds Development Team. With Jess’s background in marketing, she has been able to significantly improve the design of the HCA’s posters and flyers.

Joanna Williamson

  • Joanna was Secretary of HCA up until July 2021 and has been part of the Comms team since December 2020. She works with Jess doing the ongoing website and social media uploads. Recently, Joanna ensured the length of the AGM Public meeting was reduced to 1.5hours by enabling the community to have access to (and the ability to give feedback on) all reports both online and offline prior to the meeting. With a baby due 9th December, Joanna continues to attempt to extract her self from the HCA’s secretarial workload.

Community Engagement
Danny Mollan (also HCA Minutes Secretary)

Note: We currently have Joanna, Jess and Danny looking after the secretary and comms inboxes. We forward information to relevant committee members when it comes in, and we attempt to keep our website and Facebook pages as up to date as possible. The comms team is able to support a new incoming secretary and ensure that role has a manageable workload.
