Northern Slopes Landcare Association brings together environmental conservation and community wellbeing through hands-on bird nesting box workshops at the Wee Waa Community Arts and Cultural Centre. Participants will build and decorate nesting boxes for native birds, to take home, while engaging in conversations about mental health, social connection and the wellbeing benefits of spending time in nature.

Wee Waa Public School students and staff will create a garden on the school's vacant block containing decorative and edible plant species endemic to our local area. It will be a hands on, hands dirty activity for students who will continue to nurture the garden and watch it grow and develop for many years into the future. They will be outside in the fresh air, working collaboratively to create a beautiful and productive green space for everyone to enjoy.

Wee Waa High School Wellbeing Team will host a five-week community-based program that empowers teenage girls to build confidence, strengthen resilience, and improve their physical and mental wellbeing through engaging weekly workshops and activities. Local guest presenters will introduce topics including nutrition, self-care, skincare, mental health, and available community health services, while interactive games, crafts, and group activities foster positive peer connections.

Wee Waa Men's Shed will launch a free Open House and monthly connection sessions designed to break down age barriers and combat regional isolation. Partnering with the local Lions Club to support and host the community BBQs, the project will actively welcome local men of all ages into an inclusive environment with zero financial barriers to entry.

Wee Waa Country Women's Association (CWA) will host three free baking workshops for women of all ages. These workshops will welcome all generations of women and their families into a nurturing, collaborative space where we can actively combat regional isolation and build lasting social connections.

RiverBank Youth Works will provide free, hands-on activities that help young people in Wee Waa build practical life skills, improve their wellbeing, and strengthen community connections. Through activities such as cooking, woodworking, mechanical projects and community participation, the program will create positive opportunities for young people to learn, connect and thrive.
