It’s all about keeping local businesses top of mind. It sure is tough out there for a lot of our region’s households and local businesses. Rising costs of living have put pressure on Aussie households and the local businesses our community rely on. From grocery bills to fuel prices, our household budgets are stretched.
That’s why we’ve created the #SupportLocalChallenge: a month of ways to back our community and to help our region thrive through the tough times. You don’t need to break the bank, just do what you can, when you can. But together we’ll make a huge impact.
Let’s go!
Wanna play?! Yes? It’s easy… play along on any day you want [the more the better!]. Take a pic of the challenge being completed and post it on social media [think selfie, it can be fun, serious, arty – any type of pic!] Bring it on!
Tag @thefold.illawarra and use #SupportLocal and #SupportLocalChallenge so we can share!
Heading back to work after parental leave can feel a tad daunting, but it’s full of awesome moments too. We’ve got some tips and ideas to make the return smoother and more fun.
Huge fans of live entertainment over here! We love seeing live entertainment in regional Australia – the more, the better! It not only helps a regional area feel vibrant and exciting, but it has the potential to help support local artists and performers, too.
We’re excited to see round 2 for 2025 is open for an opportunity for hospitality venues in NSW to host live performances with support from this grant. We want to see as many regional venues get the grant as possible – so take a look!
