Welcoming Club Workshops

A huge Thank You from the Riverina!

Thanks to the NSW GROW Transition Plan and the Welcome Experience in the Riverina, we successfully ran Welcoming Club Workshops across five towns in our region last week. A big thank you to the community groups who attended, and to our local connectors Jay and Marg, for their dedication and support.

A special thanks to our presenters, Ross and Ken from Welcoming Clubs Australia, for sharing their knowledge and passion for building inclusive, vibrant communities. Together, we’re making our clubs more welcoming for everyone-across all ages, genders, and backgrounds.
