Today we walked into the pantry and were met with this — crates sitting bare.

In just two hours yesterday, we supported 27 households. That’s 27 families, neighbours, and individuals who needed help putting food on the table.

The end of the month is always tough, but right now the demand is higher than ever and we can’t do this without you.

If you’re in a position to help, please consider donating or even running a small fundraiser for us. Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a real difference to someone in our community.

You can find more information on how to donate or fundraise here:

Thank you for standing with us and helping us support those who need it most 💚

As we welcome the Lunar New Year, we extend our warmest wishes to all families celebrating within our community.

Chinese New Year is a time to honour family, remember ancestors, and look forward with hope and renewal. At this special time, we recognise the importance of tradition, remembrance, and paying respect to those who came before us.

Wishing you peace, prosperity, and good fortune in the year ahead. 🏮✨

❤️ A reminder for this week:
Grief and love often sit side by side - and however you’re feeling, you’re not alone. Take your time, be gentle with yourself, and know that support is always within reach.

If you or someone you know could use a bit of extra help, these organisations offer guidance and someone to talk to:

💛 Children’s Mental Health Week | 9–15 February

This week is a reminder that children’s mental health matters just as much as their physical health.

Big feelings, quiet worries, bursts of joy, moments of overwhelm, all of it is part of growing up. Sometimes what children need most is to feel seen, heard, and reassured that they’re not alone.

A little patience, a listening ear, and a safe space to talk can make a world of difference.
Let’s keep checking in, starting conversations, and showing our children that their feelings matter, every day, not just this week.

If you’re finding things difficult, reaching out for a conversation can be a powerful first step.

Talking about how we feel isn’t always easy, but even a simple chat can offer comfort, connection and support - especially on days when things feel heavier than usual.

This Time to Talk Day, we’re joining Mind in encouraging gentle, honest conversations about mental health. Checking in with ourselves, and with the people around us, can make a real difference - no matter how small the moment may seem.
