We’re excited to invite you to the first gathering of the Grafton Chamber of Purpose, a new local network for people and organisations working to make a positive difference in our community.

The Chamber of Purpose is for businesses, social enterprises, creatives, community organisations, faith groups, health and wellbeing providers, youth-led initiatives, and anyone who shares a connection for social impact in the region.

The Chamber of Purpose is about relationships, learning, and advocacy, and collaboratively builds and amplifies existing work through a shared focus on local impact and purpose-driven work. The idea for the Chamber of Purpose came from conversations through the 2025 Ready Grafton program.

This first gathering is informal and exploratory. It’s a chance to:

• Meet other like-minded leaders from across Grafton
• Share what purpose and impact mean in your work
• Help shape what the Chamber of Purpose could become locally
• Explore how we better connect, collaborate, and support one another

Event details
– Caringa, Grafton
– Monday 23 Feb, 5:00–6:30pm
– Light refreshments provided

Registration for this first meeting is through ready Communities, and will be at a dedicated site as the group gains momentum.

You don’t need to prepare anything – Just bring yourself, your curiosity, and your perspective.

If you’re committed to making a positive impact in the Clarence Valley and interested in working collectively for greater good, we’d love you to be there.

Please feel free to share this invitation with others who may be interested.
