A simple conversation. A shared experience. A stronger community.

That's what From Paddock to Peace of Mind is all about.

Supported by an In a Good Place grant, the project gave people in rural Tasmania the chance to learn Mental Health First Aid, take part in a 12-week Tai Chi program and connect with others in their community.

Working alongside Rural Alive and Well and Farm It Forward Tasmania, the program created welcoming spaces for people to come together, support one another and build lasting connections, helping reduce isolation and improve wellbeing across rural communities.

✨ Inspired by this project? In a Good Place Round 12 is open now but closes soon. Don't miss your chance to turn local ideas into action.

💛 Connection doesn't happen by accident. It happens in the spaces we create for each other.

This Loneliness Awareness Week, we're celebrating the communities creating opportunities for people to connect, belong and thrive.

Through the Community Connection and Resilience Program in Yarrawonga, people experiencing loneliness and isolation found new ways to connect through local activities, support and friendships. As connections grew, so sis confidence, wellbeing and a sense of belonging. This project was supported through Suncorp Rebuilding Futures.

Ending Loneliness Together is calling on everyone to make room for connection at home, at work, at school and in their community this Loneliness Awareness Week.

A Backing the Future grant, owned by the Vincent Fairfax Family Foundation, helped Lewis Jonker test an idea to support young creatives on the NSW Central Coast.

What emerged was something even bigger.

As young people engaged with the project, Lewis discovered that connection and belonging mattered just as much as creative expression. The result was a growing community built around mentoring, creative workshops and opportunities to share stories.

The project has since evolved into A New Way Services Inc, which continues to create spaces where young people can connect, create and belong.

A powerful reminder that great ideas can grow in unexpected ways.

EOI's close August 18.

Honouring Kureinji language on Country at Bottle Bend Reserve, Monak, NSW 🌿

Bottle Bend Reserve has long been a place of connection and learning. With the support of a Round 5 Nutrien Community Grant, the local committee worked alongside the Kureinji Aboriginal Corporation to introduce new signage featuring Kureinji language and local fauna throughout the reserve. 🦘🐍

The project built on existing community partnerships and local knowledge, creating opportunities for visitors to learn about the cultural and environmental significance of the area while deepening their connection to place.

Round 6 of the Nutrien Community Grant Program is still open. Find out more and apply via 🔗👉 https://frrr.org.au/funding/nutrien/
