Wollondilly Resilience Network (WReN) Inc. is a not for profit community association based in the Wollondilly Shire. Our aim is to raise awareness of practices that support a strong and resilient community adopting local solutions to achieve environmental and personal wellbeing. We are entirely powered by volunteers.
WReN creates opportunities for members of our community to come together to learn skills, share knowledge and support each other in becoming resilient. We host workshops, talks and other community events, and also operate the Fairy Wren Food Hub.
WReN was established in 2012 with support from Wollondilly Shire Council and was incorporated in 2014.
