We all know that as communities, we are better together.
So what does that look like in practice?
Inside the Better Together South Shoalhaven podcast, we examine what creates a connected community, and how people are achieving this in in the South Shoalhaven region. Join us as we talk to people who have been there, learning and doing in community. From volunteering, to the behind the scenes work of community groups, share in the wins and challenges of creating connected communities.
