17.01.2022 Whilst a number of our programs have been put on hold at this time, we are still here. Our team is currently developing some innovations, particularly to address unemployment post COVID-19. If you have any ideas as to what would be helpful to the community, please let us know. Stay safe.

16.01.2022 We are very excited today! We are launching a brand new product range that will have a positive impact on our local environment Introducing... Troublesmiths N...ative Plants! We are encouraging our community to help out the environment by purchasing a Troublesmiths Native Plant and contributing to native revegetation. Each plant comes in a 100% organic and biodegradable pot, that acts as a nourishing compost that will help your plant grow when you plant it ‘pot and all’. Plants are $8 each and we have a range of different species. Plants are available in-store only. Now things are more open, come for a wander through town and visit us :) #troublesmiths #socentau #nativerevegetation #hobartsmallbusiness

13.01.2022 The Tasmanian Fire Service responds to more than 350 house fires each year and Tasmania has one of the highest fire fatality rates per capita in Australia. Fire Safety Tips... Have you replaced your smoke alarm batteries?... Have you cleaned your fireplace or chimney? This month the Impact Crew along with Troublesmiths went through their first Fire Drill with the added smoke for effect from Steve's (from Complete Fire Safety) groovy smoke machine.

13.01.2022 A Tasmanian employment program for mature job seekers who are at risk of long-term unemployment is making an impact, its trials have shown. The Advanced Job Reach program supported mature-aged job seekers in southern Tasmania to not only gain necessary work skills but to believe in themselves.

12.01.2022 Yesterday in the state budget our Troublesmiths social enterprise was allocated $420,000 over the next two years. This will enable us to expand the work we do and support more Tasmanian young people into employment. Very exciting news. Thank you to the State Government, Workskills and all those who support the work we do! Also congratulations to Hamlet Cafe http://www.premier.tas.gov.au/budget_2020/electorate/clark

11.01.2022 Right now, our ANZAC spirit is more important than ever. In the lead-up to ANZAC Day, RSLs across the nation are asking you to show your ANZAC spirit by partici...pating in Light Up the Dawn. Just imagine how special it would be if every Australian was standing in their driveway at 6am on ANZAC Day, candles in hand, united in spirit to remember all those who have served and sacrificed. We are creating a special partnership for 'Light Up the Dawn', donating 25% of each Candle in a Can purchase to Mates4Mates. Mates4Mates is one of Australia’s leading charities actively changing the lives of current and ex-serving Australian Defence Force members, and their families, impacted by service. Head to www.troublesmiths.com.au to purchase a Light Up the Dawn candle that makes a difference. We are offering a free delivery service for Candles in a Can purchased in Hobart and the greater surrounds. RSL Tasmania South Arm RSL Sub-Branch Inc. Claremont RSL Rsl Sorell RSL Sub Branch Inc.

11.01.2022 Did you know that Workskills is the only Tasmanian not-for-profit jobactive provider? That means that all of our profits go back into helping the local Southern... Tasmanian community. Here at Workskills, we are really proud of the impact we have through providing funding and jobseeker support to the Troublesmiths social enterprise. Troublesmiths helps young unemployed Tasmanians gain skills, confidence and connections through making and selling high quality handmade products. So when you are asked to select a jobactive provider, think of the Tasmanian company helping Tasmanians - Workskills https://www.troublesmiths.com.au/

10.01.2022 It’s easy to feel powerless at the moment. That’s why we believe now more than ever it is important to remember that you have the power to create positive impact.

09.01.2022 It's #nationaltreeday this Sunday For the occasion we've got plenty of native tree babies that are well suited to living in your backyard, right here in Hobar...t. When you buy a plant from us you're supporting native revegetation efforts and young Tasmanians at the same time - helping Tassie grow in more ways than one! Pop into 20 Watchorn Street tomorrow and grab yourself a plant! #nationaltreeday #hobart #hobartsmallbusiness #scoentau

07.01.2022 One of Impact Communities' Programs- FAST... BabyFAST at JRS- Gagebrook Community Centre, is now well underway; actually they've just passed the half way mark! Our wonderful families are returning every week to engage with one another, enjoy activities with their babies, such as hand prints and music shakers, as well as the popular Baby Massage segment. The Pamper Time for the Mum's is no doubt a favourite- doing activities together such as potting plants, making cards and other relaxing activities.
