From simple gadgets to clever tools, the presentation was both informative and inspiring—reminding us how the right support can make a big difference in maintaining independence and comfort at home.

A big thank you to the NorthAble team for taking the time to visit and share your knowledge and innovations with us. 💡

We’re already looking forward to the next session!

Everyone enjoys a good time, and this time was no different! The Village came together for a fun-filled Mid-Winter Christmas celebration, brilliantly organized by our newly elected
Residents Committee. We laughed at some truly extraordinary outfits, danced the night away, enjoyed delicious food – and then danced some more! I even had the pleasure of waltzing with one of our residents – what a fantastic night it was.

We were pleased to welcome His Worship the Mayor, Vince Cocurullo, along with Dave Palmer (Council Community Safety Officer) and Janice Maunder (Neighbourhood Support) to The Falls on Monday.

They spent time addressing residents' questions and concerns around community safety and support. It was a really interesting and informative session, and residents appreciated the opportunity to get clarity on several local matters.

A few things came to light that we weren’t previously aware of, and it’s great to now have a better understanding of some of the key issues affecting our wider community.

A big thank you to all who attended and to our guests for taking the time to visit us. 👏

The Falls Estate’s First Mad Hatter’s Tea Party – A Whimsical Success!
Our very first Mad Hatter’s Tea Party for 2025 was a spectacularly fun-filled affair! With a touch of whimsy and plenty of laughter, residents gathered for an afternoon of games, giggles, and good company. Lucky winners from our games walked away with fabulous prizes, adding to the excitement of the day.
The light lunch was a delight, offering a tasteful selection of treats perfect for the occasion. Conversations flowed as easily as the tea, and the room was alive with chatter, smiles, and a shared sense of fun.
Adding to the magic, four enthusiastic residents have stepped up as volunteers to help host our monthly Mad Hatter’s Tea Parties. Each month, lucky house numbers will be drawn to extend a special invitation, ensuring that everyone has a chance to join in the merriment.
If this first event was anything to go by, we’re in for many more wonderfully whimsical gatherings ahead!
