A Thrive Together Pop-up event will take place in Bomaderry on Thursday 14 November, providing health and wellbeing services to people doing it tough in our community.

The pop-up event will help the community access local supports including housing, mental health, welfare, Aboriginal service providers, free legal advice and a range of health and wellbeing services.

Mayor Patricia White said the event will include a free BBQ, supervised children's activities area, information stalls, clothing, food 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 Cr White.

"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," she said.

"We're excited to support this pop-up in the Bomaderry community with plans to have more events across the Shoalhaven next year."

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.

This event is a partnership between Shoalhaven City Council and Salt Care. We thank them for their guidance and the support of the service providers who will be attending.
