We are Crowd Funding!

We have launched our crowd funding project today with the helpful people from Pozible!

We need your support to share the message and make a donation! Even $1- will make a difference. There are over 70, 000 people in Latrobe Valley and if every person donated $1 we would have double what we need.

This space will allow the Neighbourhood House to do more to support the people of the Valley to learn, be together and be more resilient.

We are planning to put a Community Garden on the tennis courts. There is plenty of space for it. The LV Community Shed activities can start there, there is space for us to store and use tools and we envisage many hands on learning projects. The Digital Shed can move it's activities there and there will be plenty of room to expand our digital projects.

Have a look at the clip the students made in just a couple of days. Press play on the top photo of the project. We hope to support local small businesses and entrepreneurs to get an online presence. There are great opportunities online for learning and participating.

Ask questions - We'll write a FAQ about our project on Friday. Send questions to joh@digitalshed.com.au or leave a comment.



Take a look at these stats - Latrobe Valley - Highlights (http://profile.id.com.au/latrobe/highlights). We have 8% unemployment when the national average is 6% and Victorian 5%. We need to do something different and become more enterprising and innovative. This is a great place to live so lets rethink how we live and work here and help create a resource to support our resilience.
