Empowering the Heart of Community Work
Because community workers deserve community too.
You spend your days supporting others, now it's time someone supported you. The Community Workers Hub offers two pathways explicitly designed for the community sector: The Hub provides frontline workers with practical training, peer networks, and wellbeing resources to sustain their vital work, while The Leadership Hub equips community service leaders with strength-based, trauma-informed leadership development to guide their teams and organisations. Both spaces share our commitment to your growth, your wellbeing, and your impact.
Lived Experience. Sector Insight. Real Change.
Led by Sarah Smallman, The Community Workers Hub brings together over two decades of experience in disability advocacy, trauma-informed systems, and community sector transformation. We understand the challenges you face, because we’ve lived and worked them. Our work is grounded in rights-based practice, practical wisdom, and a deep commitment to co-design, accessibility, and collective care.
