Althea Projects – Supporting Community During Disaster
The BRAVE podcast series is a Townsville Community Information Centre initiative that aims to share the inspiring stories of ordinary people from our local community.
Althea Projects is a local community service helping those in need. Among its core services are fostering, homelessness assistance, and emergency food relief. However, the 2019 floods and Covid-19 introduced new challenges and forced the organisation to change its processes to be able to continue helping people through disasters and social restrictions. In this episode, CEO Paula La Rosa and Wee Care Program Manager Lynne Josey share the recent history of Althea Projects.
BRAVE is jointly funded by the Australian and Queensland Governments under the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA).
This project is produced by Damien Lawardorn.
