Huge thanks

We are so grateful to our supporters and funders. They have made it possible to establish the NCN as an ongoing community resource.

With thanks to the Community Wellbeing and Resilience Program, funded by Healthy North Coast through the North Coast PHN Program. This funding has enabled us to build a wonderful core team, support 7 Area Coordinators and build and grow the network across the Bellingen Shire and surrounding areas. These funds supported the NCN from March 2022 to June 2023.

With thanks to Bellingen Shire Council who work closely with us, resourced the initial start up when we were all flying without a net and more recently are supporting the NCN reactivation through the Bellingen Shire Disaster Recovery and Resilience Program.

MessageMedia is a founding partner. They provide the NCN with access to their SMS platform at a discounted rate which enables us to alert our members to emergencies.
