Building connected and resilient communities

A wonderful series of wellbeing events were hosted by Rural Alive and Well (RAW) in rural halls across North West Tasmania recently.

With a focus on the importance of community connections, locals were invited to attend events which included wreath making, line dancing and a paint and sip session. Participants honed their skills whilst having lots of fun and laughs along the way. Local small businesses were also supported as they provided food and services for the occasions.

Sallyann Harper, RAW Communications and Events Officer, said that the line dancing workshop attracted 50 attendees and lots of fun was had by all,

“RAW delivered a chat about the importance of community connections and having fun and thanked TasNetworks for funding these amazing self-care events. Lots of laughs were had throughout the evening.”

The last event of the series, ‘Hoedown at Hazelbrae’ is being held on Saturday, 7^th December 2024. It promises to be another entertaining afternoon!

NWTD is proud to partner with RAW in building connected and resilient communities by funding the delivery of these self-care events and activities.

RAW have recently released their Impact Report for 23-24. More than just a report – it offers an insight into the voices of the local community and displays the passion of the RAW team as they continue to support Tasmanian communities.
