This month, we warmly acknowledge Nowruz, the Persian New Year, and its significance for members of our community.

Nowruz is a celebration of new beginnings, renewal and hope, a time to reflect on the year that has been and look ahead with optimism. Themes of family, kindness and fresh starts sit at the heart of this special occasion and strongly reflect the values we share within our community.

We are proud to celebrate the cultural diversity of our residents and the traditions, stories and experiences each person brings with them. Recognising occasions like Nowruz helps strengthen connection, understanding and belonging.

We thank this generous community group, Rain, Pari, Nellie and Parvin who have kindly set up a Half-Sin table for our residents and families to recognise and celebrate Nowruz.

Happy St Patrick’s Day 🍀 Today we shared a little luck of the Irish across our community with spirited morning teas, and plenty of green! The celebrations were made even more special at Benevolent on West, where we were treated to a beautiful performance by special guest singer, Shannon, who finished the morning with a heartfelt Irish folk song.

What a wonderful way to celebrate connection, culture and community.

This morning we had the pleasure of coming together to celebrate the incredible career of Jo Champion, sharing morning tea and plenty of well‑wishes ahead of her farewell.

After nearly 18 years of dedicated service, Jo’s final day with Benevolent was today. Over the years, Jo has made an enormous contribution to our organisation and has supported countless colleagues and residents with her care, commitment and generosity.

It was wonderful to pause, reflect, and thank Jo for everything she has given to Benevolent, and to wish her all the very best as she begins her next chapter.

Thank you, Jo, for your dedication and the lasting impact you’ve made, you will be greatly missed 💙

Congratulations to Our Catering Team! 👏🏻

We are incredibly proud to congratulate our catering team on successfully completing the 12‑month Maggie Beer Foundation Trainee Program.

Under the leadership of our Head Chef, Raelene, the team has shown outstanding dedication to building their skills, enhancing their capabilities, and continually improving the dining experience for all residents. Their commitment to learning and excellence truly shines through.

We marked this wonderful achievement with a special celebratory lunch, showcasing techniques and skills developed over the past 12 months, including a delicious tender roast pork and zesty lemon butter baked fish. A true reflection of how far the team has come!

Well done to Raelene and the entire catering team. We are so proud of your hard work and passion — great job, team!

Thank you to everyone who came to view The Small Collectives: Wilderness, Woods and Wanderings. Which brought together three Brisbane neighbours turned collaborators, Leigh Shutter, Janice and Richard Williams, for their first-ever gallery showing as a trio.

Their practices span digital painting, hand‑carved timber and imagined landscapes, each offering a different path through the wild worlds that inspire them.

The exhibition will now run through to 5th of April and is open daily.
