Workshops
We are all about building community resilience and preparedness, and to help achieve that we host free workshops on subjects such as tool use and repair skills. We run workshops regularly, keep an eye on our emails so that you know when our next round of workshops will be happening.
Resilient Lismore partnered with The Female Tradie to hold a ‘Women in Trades’ workshop over five days to provide women with carpentry training and encourage them to consider a career in the trades.
We facilitated a house painting workshop offering tips and tricks of the trade which was held at the Lismore City Bowling Club. We also hold our own ‘Tool Workshops’ to teach community members the basics of power tool operation.
These small group workshops are a great way to connect with each other and learn new and useful skills in a friendly, safe environment. If you are interested, please book quickly and places will go fast!
These workshops are for the whole community, with disaster affected folks who are restoring their own homes given priority. If that’s not you and you still want to learn, please register anyway - there are a lot of people you can help once you know how!

Events
Resilient Lismore has hosted community events designed to foster community connections and to provide locals with relief from the ongoing stress of the recovery.
These have included a series of Community Cook-Ups hosted in North Lismore, South Lismore, East Lismore and Central Lismore. More than 400 community members gathered in parks around the town to share a free meal provided by Twisted Tucker, and to enjoy games, activities, and live music from local acts, all under the Trees Not Bombs tent.
Resilient Lismore has also hosted two ‘Barefoot Bowls’ events that provided an afternoon of fun and connection for community members.
Our Southern Cross University students planned and hosted a ‘Creative Wellbeing’ craft event and afternoon tea, attended by a small number of community members.
Our stall at the North Coast National Show received a steady stream of visitors and our team walked in the Show’s community parade and in the annual Lismore Lantern Parade.
