Written by Nicole

Ensuring more families can contribute to the fight against climate change has been the focus of a partnership between the Community Power Hub Loddon Mallee and Bendigo Community Health Services.

Supported by Sustainability Victoria and the Victorian Government, the Community Power Hub Loddon Mallee’s Solar on Low Income Homes Project has helped with the technical expertise and crowdfunding of the installation of 3kW solar systems on a number of homes throughout Bendigo.

They are now crowdfunding further to extend their reach and increase the number of homes provided with renewable energy.

“When we learn to celebrate and appreciate our differences, we are all given space to thrive"

“My hope is that as we continue to educate, provide positive visibility and show the world that transition and transgender people are valuable parts of the diversity that exists between all humans, then we can reduce those fears and provide safe places and people to come out to. No-one should have to live in fear.”

Zara Jones’ first 40 years were spent being perceived as a man, but in 2017 she came out as transgender – and is now committed to building connections, opportunities and empowerment for the trans and gender diverse community.

As the city prepares to celebrate inclusivity and equality during the Bendigo Pride Festival, Zara has spoken of how important it is for all people to be seen as individuals, with their own unique qualities and equally deserving of love and respect.

Women are being invited to share a snapshot of recent history through a partnership between Bendigo Community Health Services and Women’s Health Loddon Mallee.

As we reflect on the past two years and the impact of Covid, we acknowledge women’s mental health has been more severely impacted in comparison to men (ABS, 2020).

Women reported higher rates of anxiety, insomnia, distress, and depression than males.

For this reason, the two organisations are continuing their series of workshops with women to boost resilience.

Bendigo Community Health Services supports this weekend’s nationwide March4Justice2.

#March4Justice is a respectful gathering to send a strong message to the nation's leaders that now is the time for action to put an end to sexism, misogyny and dangerous workplace cultures.

It is long past the time for change.

The first march saw thousands gather across the country last year, amplifying women’s voices and providing a platform for them to share their collective experiences.
