COMMUNITY BUILDERS LIVE CHATS:
Reinvention of Small Towns
A Rural Aid initiative, brought to you by Holdmark
Rural Aid is (virtually) heading to the Wild West, and we want you to join the ride! Rural Aid wants to provide proactive solutions and inspiration for the people who “get stuff done” in rural Australia; we call those people the community builders.
Registrations are filling fast for the popular fourth series of Community Builder Live Chats. These chats follow on from the successful 2020 series and are a must for anyone looking to breathe new life into their region, small town or country community.
Eight weekly instalments will make up the free “Reinvention of Small Towns” series, showcasing towns that have cracked the code of renewing and reinvigorating their country community.
