Immediately after Cyclone Gabrielle ripped through our midst on 14th February 2023, our wonderful community came together, setting up a welfare and evacuation centre from which volunteers worked for weeks to meet the needs of their community. 

​

As the acute phase moved into recovery, the Bay View Community Charitable Trust supported the development of a Community Steering Group which continued to provide support. The group raised over $1 million in fundraising and grants, supporting the community through a range of individual grants and projects - including the Tool Library and ongoing Resilience work​.
