Supporting the Organisations That Support Our Community

At Big Rock Digital, we believe that strong communities are built by passionate people and organisations dedicated to helping others.

Every day, charities, community groups, sporting organisations, and non-profits across the Northern Rivers region work tirelessly to improve lives, support vulnerable people, protect the environment, promote health and wellbeing, and strengthen our communities.

Unfortunately, many of these organisations operate with limited budgets and resources, making it difficult to invest in a professional online presence.

That’s why we’re proud to launch the Community Website Support Initiative.

Through this initiative, community members can nominate and vote for a deserving local charity or non-profit organisation to receive a professionally designed and developed website at no cost.

Our goal is simple: help local organisations increase their visibility, improve community engagement, attract volunteers and supporters, and better communicate the incredible work they do.

Together, we can help strengthen the digital presence of organisations making a real difference in our community.
