Resilient Byron offers “Resilient Communities”, a series of workshops that allow communities to generate their own solutions to local and global concerns, focusing on seven key areas, which include climate change, fire, water, food, and health resilience. 

Resilient Communities is action-oriented. It uses OzGreen’s award-winning community engagement process to empower people to take personal and collective action to prevent, prepare for, respond to and recover from future disasters such as drought, bushfire, heatwave, flood, storm, community infrastructure damage and health emergencies.

'Resilient communities' is implemented by Resilient Byron in partnership with 
OzGreen and thanks to funding provided by the Northern Rivers Community Foundation. 

OzGreen is a multi-award winning community organisation with three decades of experience in community development in Australia and overseas. https://www.ozgreen.org

Resilient Byron is charity which ambition is to bring together residents of the Byron Shire and Northern Rivers at large, via a web of neighbourhoods organised as interconnected areas of local resilience, supported by residents organised in thematic groups (Indigenous resilience, food security, water security, housing security, energy security, health & well-being, safety & emergency). https://www.resilientbyron.org

NRCF is a charity dedicated to improving the lives of those less fortunate in our community, either from economic circumstances, mental illness, disability, learning difficulties or drug/alcohol addictions. https://nrcf.org.au
