A new girls group called Nalia Dubay (Bundjalung for group of girls) has launched, thanks to funds from both the Northern Rivers Community Foundation (NRCF) and the Department of Family and Community Services (FaCS).
Deb Pearse from Byron Youth Service is delighted to have Nickolla Clarke as co-facilitator for activities that will focus on Indigenous craft.
‘The group is half Indigenous girls and half non- Indigenous with the aim of building connection and support, providing information and opportunities to develop creative skills.’
‘The girls are also looking forward to participating in the Dolphin Dreaming program.’
