Wollongong Central Council Social Justice Network
The Wollongong Central Council Social Justice meetings are held online, bimonthly, on the 1st Thursday of the month at 12pm (noon).
The Vinnies NSW Social Justice Network is a community of people committed to building a more just and compassionate NSW. Together, we take actions like collecting signatures for petitions, visiting our Members of Parliament (MPs), and hosting community events.
Our network is for everyone; no matter your experience, location or availability, we have meaningful ways to get involved. Will you join us? Please contact our team at svdpwollongong@vinnies.org.au if you wish to join the Wollongong Central Council Social Justice Network.
