Butterfly Hour expansion

We gave Orange Butterfly Foundation a small grant to purchase some basic resources for their monthly Butterfly Hour events in Adelaide’s Botanic Park. Then we awarded a second, much larger grant to support the Foundation to extend the Butterfly Hour to two new locations in Adelaide.

Neighbourhood Circles

We co-funded an initial CLP project to map informal community-led activities across metropolitan Adelaide and to identify what makes these activities successful and inclusive. We then funded a second stage of the work, to continue to build momentum and connection between existing community activities, and to develop resources to strengthen the practice of paid workers in supporting their clients to engage in the communities of their choice.

Acknowledgement of Country

In the spirit of reconciliation we acknowledge the Traditional Owners of Country throughout Australia and recognise their continuing connection to land, sea and community. We pay our respect to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and cultures today.
