Following the 2022 Northern Rivers floods, Healthy North Coast’s Community Wellbeing & Resilience flood recovery grants supported local organisations, including Resilient Uki, to deliver culturally safe, trauma-informed and community-led initiatives. The grants invested in social connection, community capacity and shared learning, providing stability and consistency for recovery while strengthening networks for the future. Thirteen initiatives were funded, across seven Local Government Areas that were heavily impacted by the 2022 floods. RUKI’s Neighbourhoods Project, which helped link 12 ‘neighbourhoods’ in the Greater Uki area, was one of the initiatives funded. In this video, released late 2025, we hear from community members, including RUKI president Melanie Bloor, on the impacts of that funding.
