On Monday 18 Nov meeting the Rotary Club of Cooroy had the pleasure of hearing from Kellie from Kanyini Collective.
Founder and CEO of the Hoofbeats Sanctuary in Doonan Barb Blashki felt that after Covid more needed to be done for the community regarding their mental health and well- being. Barb put to the board the idea of a social enterprise to provide programs that could help and support them. It was accepted and the Kanyini Collective was born.
