As part of our Inclusive and Accessible initiative, we're partnering with the Kurrachee Co-operative Society in Coraki to deliver disaster preparedness workshops tailored to the needs of underrepresented communities.

We just finished another round of Community Carers and Responders (CCR) training, this time in Murwillumbah. Here's some feedback from day 1 of the training…

So far, it's been a rich year already for internal training too…

For our inclusive and accessible project, instead of focusing on numbers, we’ve been focused on meeting real needs through place-based, values-led workshops.

Working with young people in the wake of multiple disasters has shown us both what’s possible and what’s hard. Our Surviving Disasters: Northern Rivers youth training has thoughtfully taken shape, guided by young people themselves. We started with insightful student consultants at Evans River High, who helped rename the program and shape how we approach youth resilience. Along the way, we’ve seen powerful moments, like Randy (pictured), who used his training to support his uncle during a snakebite and helped his family prepare calmly for Cyclone Alfred.

We’ve got a full and meaningful calendar ahead, with opportunities to connect, learn and prepare together across the Northern Rivers. So, before we start reflecting, we'd like to share what's happening because, there's a lot! From disaster preparedness to community care and pride-focused resilience, upcoming highlights include…

Surviving Disasters: Northern Rivers is off to Kyogle for a four-day school holiday program. In partnership with local youth agencies, the program will combine practical workshops in disaster preparedness with hands-on bush survival skills and first aid — giving young people the tools and confidence to face future challenges.

After years of leading Plan C through its start-up years and into a new phase of growth, Jean Renouf has made the decision to step down as CEO.

This Pride Month, Plan C is proud to announce a new partnership with The Tropical Fruits Inc to deliver disaster resilience workshops designed by and for the LGBTIQ+ community.
