EVENTS | π₯ Tongs Not Thongs (TNT) Mental-Fitness BBQ Breakfast Outreach
THE WEATHER WAS COLDβ¦ THE CONNECTION WASNβT! β€οΈ
π§οΈβοΈ It was a bleak, cold and wet morning in Blayney β but that didn't stop volunteers from getting together, firing up the BBQ and enjoying a great breakfast and even better company!
This morning four members from Team Towac, traveled to NSW RFS - Blayney Brigade to deliver the August edition of the Tongs Not Thongs (TNT) Mental-Fitness BBQ Breakfast Outreach Program.
Around the BBQ, some 24+ volunteers from NSW RFS - Blayney Brigade, Lyndhurst Rural Fire Brigade, Barry Hobby's Yard RFB, Kings Plains RFB, NSW RFS - Millthorpe Fire Brigade and NSW Rural Fire Service Canobolas Zone, took the opportunity to meet, catch up, share insights and strengthen the connections that matter.
π₯ Because TNT isn't really about the BBQ.
It's about creating a space where volunteers can come together outside the pressure of the fire-ground.
It's about checking in with each other.
It's about building friendships (networks) and trust.
Strong brigades aren't built only during emergencies.
They're built between the call-outs β through relationships, trust, connection and a genuine sense of belonging.
A huge thank you to S.DC Jason and his team at NSW RFS - Blayney Brigade for sharing their amazing facility this morning and providing such a fantastic, welcoming environment. π
To everyone who braved the weather and joined us β thank you for making TNT what it is.
π₯ One BBQ. One conversation. One connection at a time.
Together, we're building stronger volunteers, stronger brigades and stronger communities across Canobolas Zone.
π€ CONNECT. β€οΈ SUPPORT. π BELONG.
