At State Council we discussed with Presidents and delegates if there was any interest in other groups wanting to commence Flourish. Queanbeyan, Central Coast, St George, Fairfield & surrounding areas, and Port Jackson have indicated they are interested. The model doesn’t have to be exclusive to one PPC …a couple could join, all we would need is a “champion” to help organise. Anyone else?? We are about to go into further discussions with Adam’s team to get this underway.
Executive have also looked at other options & delegates should discuss this with you the presentations made at Term 2 State Council.
