From the blog

In recognition of Neurodiversity Celebration Week, we published a guest blog piece written by Amber Rowe who outlines how workplaces can be more neuroinclusive.

 
We talk to Jo Williams of J.W. Framing & Supply in Newtown, who used a WCC Organics Diversion Fund grant to rescue eight tonnes of native timber when the Wellington Girls’ College auditorium was demolished.
 
WCL visited Jo to find out how and why she rescued the wood, otherwise destined for landfill, and how her framing and supply business is developing.

If you are part of a school board, sports club committee, or any other small organisation then Pierre’s talk will be of interest to you.
