We invite facilitators to submit proposals to be part of the Saturday Circle 2025/26 program.
Saturday Circle is a vibrant monthly community event hosted by Randwick City Council focused on repairing, reusing, sharing, regeneration, and building resilience. Bringing together passionate facilitators, volunteers and community members to share practical skills, that support a circular economy, sustainable living, and community resilience.
It takes place on the second Saturday of each month from March to November, typically running from 10:00am to 12:00pm at the Randwick Sustainability Hub, located at 27 Munda St, Randwick.
Applications will be assessed for value, community engagement and outcomes against the Saturday Circle goals. Applicants will be notified about the outcome of their application by the end of June.
About the program
The program features a series of concurrent hands-on activities delivered by multiple facilitators or service providers, including mending clothes, bike maintenance, bird watching, storytelling, Lego building, climate discussions, toy and clothes swaps and much more.
The goal of Saturday Circle is to foster sustainable living and the circular economy, reduce waste generation, and strengthen community connections through hands-on learning, shared knowledge and service provision.
Each session is delivered by a facilitator who is responsible for designing and running an engaging, hands-on activity or providing a practical service aligned with Saturday Circle’s themes. Facilitators are expected to have relevant experience and the ability to engage a diverse community audience.
Facilitators will deliver engaging, high-quality workshops in line with agreed schedules, Council’s sustainability values, and community goals, while ensuring full compliance with Randwick City Council’s WHS requirements. They will also support promotional efforts by sharing their workshops through their networks, are responsible for set up and pack up, and to complete a short post event checklist. About once a quarter, there will be a paid one hour debriefing after the session which facilitators are encouraged to attend.
