Local community leader (and all-round nice person!) Barb Daly commenced her 12-week place­ment with Brighton Council on 3 November 2022.

You may already know Barb. She is well-known across the Brighton municipality for her important work with young people, her passion for social inclusion, and health and wellbeing initiatives.

Studying a Cert III in Commu­nity Services, Barb has always had a passion for working in the community. In 2021, she gradu­ated from the Centacare Evolve Inspiring Leaders Program. It was through this program she initiat­ed the highly successful Zumba classes which take place every Fri­day in the Brighton Civic Centre.

The Inspiring Leaders Program was a catalyst for Barb to study for her Cert III.

During her placement, Barb will be working on a project about place-based mental health ser­vices and supports in our munici­pality. If you see Barb around, say hello!
