@readycommunities builds equality in regional comm

@readycommunities builds equality in regional communities via our readiness index. One of our five readiness indicators is connection and connectivity. In just over 18 months we have already created over 24,000 connections. What does this mean? Days like this. Introducing a business owner in our host community (Grafton Brewhouse) to alumni partner Lara Wilde GAICD AgriFood Catalyst to provide important advice on where to get started.

The people we know love and understand the regions. Hope you can join us for Social Impact in the Regions 2025 in #graftonnsw

This week we were at Yamba Farmers markets catching up with our 2025 Local Impact Facilitator for the theme of local food, Deborah Novak.
The markets are so impressive and we left with a bounty of goodies.

#readygrafton is up and running. Our program has changed significantly following analysis of our pilot in Kempsey last year.

Stay tuned for updates on our national program, what’s happening in #kempsey and #grafton and what we are learning as we progress. Thank you to everyone involved thus far.

The Ready Communities Discovery phase enables us to let the truth get in the way of a good story. In this phase we immerse deeply in our host community to listen, learn and observe. We map policies, programs, key stakeholders and community aspirations. And. We test what we see and learn in contrast to the stories we hear.

This year we are running our discovery program in Grafton. Many people told us to steer clear of South Grafton. We aren’t into ‘steering clear’ and we’re delighted to meet Sam who, in partnership with her husband and investors has created an incredible community space at the Good Intent Hotel, South Grafton.

This meeting reminded us of many things (1) there are many versions of the truth (2) business plays an integral role in social impact (3) the emerging spaces are just as important as the thriving ones and (4) it feels so good to discover something that goes against the expected norm.

If you’re about we thoroughly recommend you pop in. And if you’re coming to Social Impact in the Regions in #grafton this year expect to see more of this great venue. @good_intent_hotel_grafton
