Tuesday 2 April 2024: In this episode, Kay, Sarah and Jo talk about how they’re involved with The Nest Community and how their involvement means something to them too.

Kay and Sarah volunteer at The Nest Community. Jo is a teacher at Mitchelton High School and has brought groups of students to take part in The Exhange Project since 2021.

Tuesday 5 March 2024: Roz Holt the founder and CEO of The Nest Community provides us with the back story about how The Nest Community started 10 years ago.

Roz tells us about how her initial Craft Nest Project was the starting point for future collaborations and the eventual creation of The Nest Community.

The Nest Community is a Brisbane charity that connects women purposefully through craft. The organisation has just undergone expansion and moved from a beautiful old house in Everton Part to a larger commercial space in Brendale.

Reselling fabric and notions through their 130 volunteers at the shop provides lots to see and buy by over 500 visitors per week. Unlike many thrift stores, The Nest Community manages to sell over 65% of their donations, in their bid to reduce landfill.
