Community groups and social issues are promoted through local family, environmental and sporting groups exhibiting. These sites support a cohesive community that recognises the needs and aspirations of all its people and promote involvement with 10% of all exhibition sites at North West Expo subsidised for community and volunteer groups. Expo actively encourages the ‘adoption’ of community not for profit groups by business to support each other in realising marketing aims.
Community outcomes include -
- “Alternative to Violence Project had a range of activities where community members folded peace cranes which now decorate the Kimberley Family Relationship Centre front office. Badges were created by children and adults. Some drums have hummed ever so modestly. Many happy known and unknown faces came past greeting. And - community members have expressed interest in AVP. To those who have signed up to be involved in the future, ‘Welcome to you!’” - Fae Gerrits, Chairperson;

The awareness we gained was massive, and I can tell this by the way the kids responded when I went into the schools the following week. They would ask me ‘are these the courts that were at the Expo’ and that was even said to me out in Derby!” - Mike Cornish, WA Squash, State Coaching Director.
