Changing Australia: Joel Orchard and building community-led resilience and recovery
Manage episode 505286464 series 5428
In 2022, devastating floods inundated parts of Northern NSW, with many reports detailing the devastation wrecked in the communities of Lismore and Ballina.
But a lesser known village in the Ballina Shire, called Wardell, was also badly affected. And as the disaster unfolded and locals came to grips with the job before them, volunteers banded together to create a vital help centre, providing things like food, bedding and mental and social support.
Today, Wardell Core continues as a hub for community-led resilience.
Guest: Joel Orchard, co-founder Wardell Core, founder Young Farmers Connect.
