Teaming up with our friends at Maribyrnong City Council, we today ran a 'Funding 101' session at Footscray Town Hall. With free admission, networking opportunities and a diverse panel packed with funding expertise, the community excitement was palpable and the day a roaring success. The western suburbs' appetite for impact-driving small businesses is clear, and it's our mission to power these community ideas. What events would you like to see us facilitate in the future?

Green Collect is the brainchild of Sally Quinn and Darren Andrews, a pair who initially aimed to divert tonnes of cork from landfill and provide employment for vulnerable people. The social enterprise has only grown since 2001 and now supports hundreds of offices and organisations in joining the circular economy movement.

Last week, the Local Impact team attended the annual Social Traders Convene. We were engrossed all through the day by an inspiring group of speakers as diverse as the communities they serve. This year, we'll continue to help power community ideas as Melbourne's west keeps growing in size and social impact.
