This is a community-led fundraiser for the small rural village of Cobargo and the surrounding district on the NSW Far South Coast, which was hard hit by the bushfires that have devastated so much of eastern Australian this year. We are working with others to restore the confidence of our community, help people deal with the long-term trauma of these fires, restore the local economy and local jobs, and regenerate our natural environment. In our rebuilding we want to implement more sustainable solutions for energy usage, including a village micro-grid. We also want to improve the readiness of our village and localities to deal with future disasters. Our aim is to ensure that we emerge from this tragedy as a stronger, regenerative community, guided by regenerative principles. We need your help to do this. The Cobargo Community Bushfire Recovery Fund Inc was set up by four of Cobargo's leading not-for-profit community groups to raise funds to help Cobargo and the local area recover and rebuild. The Fund will be used for projects that benefit the recovery of the whole community. It is run by community volunteers, so overheads and admin costs will be kept low. This group will help lead the community discussion on the future of our village. Projects will be identified through community consultation; developed and implemented by local people, drawing on expert help as needed.

The fund is an initiative of the Yuin Folk Club Inc, producers of the annual Cobargo Folk Festival, with the support of the Bowerbird Opportunity Shop, the Cobargo Cooperative Society Ltd and the Cobargo Show Society Inc. It is managed transparently by a representative committee of nine community members and is fully audited. The committee is a registered charity with the ACNC. While we are shattered by what has happened to our region, we are full of hope for the future. All enquiries, including media, to [email protected]
