Our hearfelt gratitude goes to Northern Rivers Community Foundation for believing in our vision and funding this project to share women's expert knowledge and experience.Funded through the generosity of NRCF's Women's Giving Circle, a new program is supporting intergenereational wisdom sharing and reducing loneliness at the same time.Northern Rivers Community Gateway has developed a new service that connects older, isolated women in our region with children, in a series of workshops to teach craft and other traditional skills and stories to younger generations.This kind of intergenerational sharing benefits older people by providing social connection. It also benefits younger ones too, by giving them a sense of identity, culture and self worth.To help support projects like this and become a member of NRCF's Women's Giving circle email Lisa at engagement@nrcf.org.au..........#givewhereyoulive #thenrcf #northernriverscommunityfoundation #resilience #regeneration #women #housing #notforprofit #impact #northernrivers #charitydonations #generosity #womensgivingcircle #intergenerational #newgenerations ...

Help us to close the gap! Today is national Close the Gap Day. It's a day to reflect on the continued health, social and economic disparities between First Nations and non-indigenous Australians. It's a day to acknowledge the strength and determination of our First Nations peoples. And it's a day to review where we're at in the 16th year of the Close the Gap campaign, and to challenge our communities to do better.We advocate for the empowerment of First Nations Australians, and we believe that closing the gap is a fundamental part of this. We can all take action by signing the Close the Gap pledge.
