Based on our experiences of the 2019 Townsville Floods, we now have a team working on setting up Notch as a Disaster Recovery Hub for the Northern Beaches.
This project, funded jointly by state and federal governments under Disaster Recovery Arrangements, will see a range of support and infrastructure at the centre to enable us to better respond to future disasters.
Including the supply of generator power, a sensory garden, a community laundry and an outdoor gym, this project will be rolled out progressively.
Resilience building and community capacity building are two of the focus areas under this project.
Reflective art programs for community healing and local supports for mental health are aspects that intend to build resilience within our residents and capture the local story of the unprecedented flood events.
Longer term, these supports will enable Notch to provide disaster response and recovery to our local community in future disaster events.
Our friendly team aim to create a place for everybody. As the local hub of connection based in Deeragun, Townsville, Notch host visiting service providers and provide rooms for hire at discounted rates for community and social groups.
Like any good charity, Notch runs on volunteer power and are the truly local charity supporting those in need across our community. We run a variety of community-based services and programs, targeted in response to ongoing and emerging community needs.
