This group was founded under the leadership of Melanie Crowe and the participation of Danielle Brown who has led many of our past initiatives.
Since 2021 we have:
Established Resilient Pottsville - a community led resilience team, with the purpose of preparing our community and responding to natural disasters.
Established and retired the Pottsville Recycling Hub at St Marks Anglican Church in Pottsville, for hard-to-recycle items.
Installed two Bag Swap Stations at IGA and FoodWorks to reduce plastic bag use in Pottsville.
Coordinated the Simply Cups coffee cup recycling project, where we collected disposable coffee cups at St Ambrose Primary School and Black Drop Cafe to ensure they don’t end up in landfill.
Held a number of community workshops and information sessions about natural disasters.
Run rubbish clean-ups.
Expanded our resilience network to almost 300 registered households.
We meet on the first Thursday evening of each month at the Pottsville Sports Club, at ~5:15 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
It’s a great time for anyone who’s looking after little ones, have trivia commitments, or want to grab a bite after the meeting.
We’re always eager to welcome new members, so feel free to drop by a meeting and see what we’re about.
If you’d rather have a quieter chat over a cuppa, just let us know and one of us will meet you for a friendly conversation.
