🌏 Meeting with Himalayan Community Care Services
I recently had the pleasure of meeting with the team from Himalayan Community Care Services and it was a wonderful opportunity to learn more about the vital work they do supporting families across our region.
The organisation plays an important role in helping newly arrived families settle into our community, offering guidance, culturally informed support, and pathways to local services. They also work hard to maintain strong cultural ties, ensuring that people can honour their heritage while building a future here in Far North Queensland.
The team shared some of their exciting new initiatives, including expanded cultural and language support programs, youth activities aimed at building confidence and leadership, and upcoming health and wellbeing workshops designed to strengthen social connection and improve access to support. They are also preparing a range of community events and cultural celebrations that will enrich our region and bring people together.
I’m grateful for the chance to meet with them and deeply appreciate the positive impact they continue to have in our community. Their dedication, compassion, and forward‑thinking projects make a real difference in the lives of many.
