Listen "The Nest Community"
Episode Synopsis
Roz Holt is the founder and CEO of The Nest Community in Brisbane, Queensland. She tells us about how her initial Craft Nest Project was the starting point for future collaborations and the eventual creation of The Nest Community. The Nest Community is a Brisbane charity that connects women purposefully through craft. The organisation has just undergone expansion and moved from a beautiful old house in Everton Part to a larger commercial space in Brendale. Reselling fabric and notions through their 130 volunteers at the shop provides lots to see and buy by over 500 visitors per week. Unlike many thrift stores, The Nest Community manages to sell over 65% of their donations, in their bid to reduce landfill.
