Barb has held many service and community leadership roles in rural Queensland.  In this podcast she discusses some of the projects she has helped to lead, including collating beautiful hand-made quilts for members of the homeless community, survivors of domestic and family violence and elderly community members; the creation of home-made mother’s day cards and bookmarks; and collecting kits for kids packages which provide school resources to children without books and pens etc.  These ‘love’ projects are all designed to support people to feel ‘seen’ and cared for.
Barb also discusses the benefits of volunteering to communities but also to the volunteers.  She talks about how her community work allows her to engage with a diversity of women, establish relationships, and supports a sense of belonging.
Barb shares her perspectives on women’s leadership, teamwork, and her respect for women leader’s generosity.   

Key ideas that are central to this podcast include ‘love’ of community and how we can let people know they are seen; caring for community is caring for self; and the importance of generosity.
We hope you enjoy Barb’s insights😊
