Hi Carers,

What a fantastic Christmas party we had at Bunnings today! The energy in the room was absolutely contagious, and it was wonderful to be surrounded by such a great group of people.

Bonnie and Trish, and the team were, as always, incredible putting on a delicious spread of Christmas treats that everyone enjoyed.

We each took home a poinsettia and spent hours chatting and laughing together.

Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make the day so special.

A special thank-you to Betty for the beautiful Christmas gift, and to all of you for your kind words of appreciation. It truly warms my heart to know how much the Friendly Carers Group means to you.

Merry Christmas to all. May 2026 be a year of blessings, happiness and health for you and your loved ones.

Friendly Carers Group Christmas Party

10/12/2025

Hello Carers,

Today we celebrated our second Friendly Carers Christmas Party at the Springvale RSL, and wow what an incredible day!

The carers arrived beaming, ready to dance, sing, and soak up the magic of being together.

The room was buzzing with laughter, signing, music, and the kind of joy you can feel right down to your toes. I had an absolute blast, and judging by the unstoppable smiles around me, everyone else did too!

And the food oh my goodness. From the delicious morning tea to the full Christmas roast with all the trimmings, followed by dessert and a fabulous floor show it was pure delight from start to finish.

Hard to believe such a spectacular event, and for next to nothing.

One carer came up to me and said, “ I especially want to thank you because I simply love this group.” My heart skipped a beat. It’s moments like this that remind me why we do what we do. It truly makes a difference in carers lives.

The carers were glowing with happiness, and that joy is everything.

Ahh… we do have our third Christmas party for the year tomorrow…
