A Northern Rivers region that is resilient and regenerative.

Where communities are prepared for adversity, know how to support each other and have a sense of a collective safety net.

Imagine a day when all players, including governments, emergency agencies, businesses and others, recognise the leadership capacity of our communities.

This is what we aim for.

Mission: to build the resilience and regenerative capacities of Northern Rivers and Australian communities in the face of disasters and crises.

Aims:

• continuously map actors of the resilience ecosystem

• facilitate a deeper sense of community by building connections among Northern Rivers and Australian residents

• educate, train, inform, support and mentor individuals and communities to build their understanding, skills and knowledge in community resilience and regeneration

• partner with organisations at local, regional and national levels to build on each other's work

• respond to disasters and crises by activating, leading and supporting our networks, such as the Northern Rivers Community Carers and Responders network

• research and evaluate ways to have the greatest beneficial impact in building community resilience

• influence decision-makers at all levels to understand and support the unique role that community plays

Our values:

• We seek to have a real impact on people’s lives. We want Northern Rivers communities to be effectively prepared to future disasters and crises and able to face them, recover from them and regenerate in the best possible ways.

• We are inclusive and collaborative in the ways we work and relate to others.

• We seek to inspire communities to take action and support each other.

• We seek to be a leader in community resilience and regeneration, whose perspectives and projects are valued by communities, governments, and other stakeholders.

• We seek to act from a place of inner stillness.
