Enjoy this fabulous video recap of our recent business event delivered in partnership with Darebin City Council and NORTH Link at the workshop of the incredibly talented people from A Blanck Canvas (who also produced the video).

It was a great chance for conversation, collaboration and new ideas that support both local business and the broader community.

We hosted a fabulous get together of local business and industry leaders in collaboration with Darebin City Council and NORTH Link last night.

As well as sharing how we all work together and what is making our community thrive, guests were treated to a behind the scenes view of the incredible work of A Blanck Canvas from their Preston facility.

Join us on Thursday to see how Weenthunga Health Network is using funds from the Bakers Dozen Social Justice Fund.
