Brukunga: From Ashes to Bloom
A group of community-minded locals initiated a survey, kick-starting the revival of the Brukunga Community Association.
Little did they know, this was the start of something much, much bigger.
The impact of the fires on both physical and mental well-being prompted Wellbeing SA to fund the community's rebuilding efforts.
Council’s Fire to Flourish team assisted in facilitating and building capacity in the newly revived association.
With the Brukunga Hall as their focal point, workshops were organised to guide the community's resilience and recovery. From gardening to mental health awareness sessions, a Working Bee, to a family fun day, these events fostered a sense of belonging and pride.
Participants shared sentiments like "I love seeing the community connect and grow" and "Enjoy seeing change for Brukunga."
Today, Brukunga stands stronger than ever, thanks to the ongoing community-led initiatives- and their momentum is not slowing.
Wellbeing SA has now provided further funding, ensuring continued growth and connections, creating an exciting future for Brukunga!
