​Naradell Teardrop Flag

​

Our thanks to Sunshine Coast Council and Cr Joe Natoli for providing the funds to purchase our teardrop flag.  We are also very pleased that due to support from Cr Natoli, leading to an introduction to Suncare, we now have administration office space that will allow us to interact to a much greater level with our volunteers and take the next step in our ultimate goal.

Proudly Supported by the Sunshine Coast Council's grants program.

Gambling Community Benefit Fund (GCBF) - March 2020

​

In March 2020 we were excited to receive the news that we were successful with our first Grant.

Our project was (and still is) tutoring in sewing, knitting & crocheting as well as inviting experienced volunteer sewers, knitters & crocheters to produce items for sale to raise funds to further our dreams and aspirations.

Then along came Covid-19.  No close contact which eliminated one-on-one tutoring.  Covid also threw other plans awry and Naradell's progress paused, as we realise was the case with many other organisations.

We are all familiar with the scenarios of relaxing of Covid safe rules; then an outbreak; tightening of rules or even lockdown; relaxing of rules; tightening again.  Perhaps this is a pattern we are also familiar with in our journey with mental health.

Other activities & plans took shape, some volunteers felt the impact of Covid more than others and our support slightly decreased which meant our plans were delayed, however, the plans are very much still alive in our intentions.

The funds from the Gambling Grant enabled us to purchase:

• Four sewing machines
• Four sewing desks
• Haberdashery
• Fabric
• Crocheting & knitting supplies
• Woven 'Naradell' labels to sew into products made
• Canon printer (with ink saving feature)
• HP laptop (our very first laptop !!!!!)
• Professional brochure printing​
