    Episode 1 is coming out Tues, Oct 21!

    When the Fletcher Jones factory closed in 2008, it seemed like the end of an era for Warrnambool... but it was actually the beginning of something big. As the trucks cleared out , the final pieces of fabric and offcuts from factory, some local artists intervened stopping the truck before it went to the tip and saving the fabrics.

    That was the beginning of F Project, a space for artists.

    Now there are several organizations which have been built from that same entrepreneurial spirit with social good at their core:

    • One Day Studios

    • Find Your Voice Collective

    • Stoked Surf Therapy

    • Warrnambool Community Garden

    • Warrnambool College Indigenous Garden.

    • F Project

    So come with us on a journey to meet the change makers behind Warrnambool's social innovations. And hear their amazing and often surprising stories of how it all came to be.

    Big change, starts with us.
