The Community Connections Expo is on at the end of the month and local community groups, clubs and not-for-profits are being invited by Ballina Shire’s A Ward Councillors to be a part of the event.
The expo will be on Saturday, August 30 at the Ballina Surf Club.
Council says that following the success of the Lennox Head event earlier this year, this free expo will be a great opportunity for local organisations to connect with residents, new families, and businesses in the area – and to attract new members or volunteers.
A Ward Ballina Shire Councillor, Erin Karsten, says the Community Connections Expo is all about showcasing the incredible groups that make the community. ‘It’s a chance for the public to discover how they can get involved, give back, or just learn more about the support and services available locally.’
Community organisations are encouraged to register for a free table to promote their group and activities. Each group will be provided with a 1.8m Council says the Ballina Community Connections Expo will be a fantastic opportunity for local residents to learn more about these community groups, meet their passionate volunteers, and explore ways to get involved and give back to our community.
There’s already over 20 community groups registered to attend, from sporting clubs and environmental groups to creative collectives and support services.
Register before August 15 here – the expo is on from 9am to 12pm, Saturday August 30 at the Ballina Surf Club.
