Most recently we have been:
Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP) funding process is transitioning to the Support at Home Program by 2027. This means that service providers will need to change their business and operational models to ensure sustainability and business continuity.
Redwoods partnered with Ku-ring-gai Council and Yourside to host a 3 hour in-person Project Management and Funding workshop.
With 100% attendance, 94% of participants stated that expectations were met or exceeded and they walked away with the confidence, strategies and tools to plan and manage future projects and funding.
Lane Cove has a reputation for being an Age-friendly community and was the first NSW Council to sign up to the WHO Age-friendly cities and communities.
Redwoods had the privilege of working with the Council and community partners: Sydney Community Services, Pottery Gardens, local businesses, Men’s cooking group, Tuesday drop-in @ the LC Bowlo, local residents, Council staff, libraries and the Age-Friendly Advisory Committee.
Together we achieved our survey goals for diversity and representation. We could not have done this on our own.
Redwoods are teaming up with a local graphic artist and creating resources for carers, friends and families of patients with chronic illness. We are currently having conversations with a range of stakeholders and look forward to sharing our progress here. Connect in if you want to participate – there is plenty to do!
Redwoods partnered with the City of Ryde to host a webinar to upskill and connect CHSP service providers in Writing Effective Grant Applications & How to Find Additional Funding.
“The case study workbook is incredibly amazing. It’s so informative” participant quote.
Tania is an absolute pleasure to engage with. She is passionate and professional in her approach to developing community partnerships, delivering great projects to benefit young people. We engaged Tania to support out Youth Team to deliver workshops for young people to gain employability skills. Young people participated in workshops ranging from completing resumes, to mock interviews. A number of the young people that participated also applied for and were successful in gaining employment locally. We would not hesitate to partner with Redwoods Work Collaborative again in the future.
Connecting with Tania to discuss a business idea was of great value to myself and our organisation. Bringing a "big picture" idea into a well thought out proposal to then present to a Board was a challenge that I found difficult to execute on. Tania was able to not only explore and debate our ideas, she provided research, statistical data and real life stories and case studies to help us decide whether we should proceed any further. We were also provided with a framework of how we could proceed to implementation. Working in an environment where you are required to be many things to many people, Tania's support and insights helped me immensely and I wouldn't hesitate in engaging her in our future strategic planning.
I am pleased to recommend Redwoods Work Collaborative. Tania is very proactive in dealing with problems and potential issues and is a natural leader. She has strong attention to detail especially with youth, problem solving and great critical thinking skills. Able to keep a group feeling positive even under pressure, Tania is an exemplary 21st century leader who builds relationships and values wherever she goes. Her willingness to help and passionate to see people succeed, made her a true asset to anyone who are lucky to have meet her.
I have worked with Tania on a few initiatives and she has always been incredibly dedicated, passionate, and professional. With her leadership and expertise at the helm, I look forward to seeing the success of Redwood's work in building young people's capacity in our communities.
I had the pleasure of working with Tania on a local youth committee. Her ability to build meaningful relationships and aptitude for collaborative networking allowed her to bring my ideas to life, empowering me to see the difference young people can make in the community. Tania has an admirable passion for encouraging others to grow, and then creating development opportunities to enable this. Working with Tania helped equip me with the communication and networking skills I needed to secure my first industry work experience. I have no doubt that Redwoods Work Collaborative will allow many others to benefit from Tania’s incredible skillset like I have!
I have worked with Tania on multiple youth, multicultural and community projects through the formative years of my career. Tania was and continues to be, an amazing support person for me in my personal and professional growth. She is dedicated to career development and training, and has an amazing insight into how individuals navigate experiences and absorb information, making her an incredible asset in networking and training. She is supportive, engaging, committed, and most importantly, passionate. I absolutely trust in every endeavour Tania takes, and look forward to seeing the real value and growth that she creates in communities and in individuals through Redwoods Work Collaborative!
