A Thrive Together Pop-up event will take place in Sanctuary Point on Wednesday 21 August, providing health and wellbeing services to people doing it tough through winter.
The pop-up event will help the community connect with local support services such as The Salvation Army, financial counsellors, housing support, mental health services, Aboriginal service providers and free legal advice.
The event will include a free brunch, kids art and craft activities, information stalls, clothing and other giveaways.
"We want our community to have equitable access to the things they need to support their wellbeing and provide opportunities to improve their quality of life," said Community Connections Manager, Michael Paine.
"Based on the annual Thrive Together Fair, the pop-up is a localised event which targets communities and will bring together community services and supports specific to the area," Mr Paine said.
"We're excited to support this pop-up in the Sanctuary Point community with plans to roll out more events across the Shoalhaven later this year and next," he said.
Following feedback from the Thrive Together Fair held in Nowra in 2023, local pop-up events were piloted to focus on specific communities in the Shoalhaven. Popular with locals, the pop-ups will replace the one annual event.
Funded by the NSW Government, Council thanks its partners and stall holders for their support including BCR Communities who are hosting the event.
