I am gathering a few key leaders in our industry to help facilitate and hold a discussion on not only how we SURVIVE but how we might THRIVE through this time! How do we get through this current climate with what is happening in the world? What are the blessings and opportunities that have come from this?... What is possible when we come out of the other end? This one will be via ZOOM with a donation from the ticket price (as we would normal pay, going to Soul Cafe Newcastle) I hope you can join us!

24.01.2022 PLEASE FILL OUT (FUNDS AVAILABLE) AND SHARE - I'm calling on my community to understand the impacts of COVID-19, whilst working towards, connecting and building a case for support to help us through the coming months collectively. Please visit: https://www.nfpconnect.com.au/communitysupport/ As the community, and the community sector, mobilises to respond to the COVID-19 challenges, NFP Connect and the City of Newcastle, Australia (CN) have joined forces to assist organisati...ons through this difficult time. I'm reaching out to local charities, not-for-profits and for-purpose organisations that support our community’s most vulnerable, to help CN with their rapid response funding allocations.

As part of this project, I will also be seeking out local businesses that can support these organisations with their immediate needs and the challenges they anticipate in the months ahead.
