How blessed are we to be able to share Poppy with our families and staff!

🐾 Meet Poppy! 🐾

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Petbarn for sponsoring Poppy and helping make her journey possible. Your generosity and commitment to supporting assistance dogs makes a real difference in the lives of those who rely on them every day.

A special thank you also goes to Empower Assistance Dogs for their incredible support, guidance, and dedication throughout Poppy’s training and development. Their work empowers individuals to live with greater independence, confidence, and connection.

Poppy is more than just a dog – she is a loyal companion, a source of comfort, and a life-changing support for those she assists. We are so grateful to have such wonderful organisations standing behind her.

Thank you, Petbarn and Empower Assistance Dogs, for helping Poppy make a positive impact in our community. ❤️🐕‍🦺

Feel free to add a photo of Poppy and tag both Petbarn and Empower Assistance Dogs to help recognise their support.

💛 COMMUNITY SUPPORT NEEDED 💛

At Peggy’s Place, we have the privilege of supporting some incredibly resilient women and families as they work towards rebuilding their lives — and today we are asking our community to help one very deserving young mum.

For nearly two years, this young mother and her beautiful 14-month-old baby have been part of the Peggy’s Place community. During this time, she has worked tirelessly to create a brighter future for herself and her child.

She has successfully completed a Certificate in Land Management, holds a forklift licence, and continues to volunteer her time helping maintain the grounds at Peggy’s Place, always willing to lend a hand and give back wherever she can. She is also actively working to towards regaining her driver’s licence and, once achieved, she will have greater independence and access to employment opportunities.

Now, she is ready for the next step.......a place to finally call home.

We are urgently seeking safe and affordable long-term accommodation in Ipswich or surrounding areas, ideally a 2–3 bedroom home where she and her baby can settle and continue building a stable future.

This young woman has shown determination, resilience, and an incredible willingness to work hard despite the challenges life has placed in front of her. She simply needs the opportunity and support of a community willing to believe in her.

🙏 We are asking our community:

• Do you know of a rental property available in Ipswich or nearby?
• Are you a landlord willing to give someone a genuine chance?
• Do you have connections with housing providers or real estate agents?
• Can you share this post to help us reach the right person?

Every share could make a difference.

If you may be able to help, please contact Peggy’s Place directly via private message or email [email protected]

Together, we can help give this young family the fresh start they deserve. 💕

Proud to represent Peggy's Place at the fundraiser for Second Life Women’s Hub held at The Services Club Maryborough! The trivia was difficult! I think I need to watch Alice in Wonderland again!

This Mother’s Day at Peggy’s Place, we celebrated the incredible mums in our community with a day filled with connection, kindness, and care 💐

Our boutique was open for mums to enjoy, and everyone shared a special lunch together, creating a wonderful opportunity to relax and feel celebrated.

A heartfelt thank you to Rotary Ashgrove The Gap in conjunction with the girls from Somerville House for generously providing beautiful gifts for our mums. We were also so grateful to SI Moreton North Inc SIMNI, who dropped by with even more thoughtful gifts to brighten the day.

It was a truly special celebration made possible through the generosity and support of our amazing community partners 💖

From all of us here at Peggy’s Place, we would like to wish all mothers in our community a very special Mother’s Day this Sunday 💐

We celebrate the strength, love, care, and resilience that mothers and mother figures bring to our families and community every day.

We hope your day is filled with kindness, joy, and moments of appreciation, because you deserve to be celebrated ❤️

🕯️ Today, the first Wednesday of May, is National Domestic Violence Remembrance Day 🕯️

Peggy’s Place acknowledges the terrible impact of family violence on individuals, families, and communities. We pay our respects to those who did not survive, and to the family members and friends who continue to carry the loss of their loved ones.

This year’s theme, “Together Queenslanders can prevent domestic and family violence,” reminds us that preventing violence is everyone’s responsibility. By working together as individuals, families, workplaces, and communities, we can create safer futures for everyone.

Today, we stand together to remember victim survivors, raise awareness, and reaffirm our commitment to ending domestic and family violence. Every person deserves to feel safe, supported, and heard.

As part of Domestic Violence Prevention Month, we invite you to light a candle to remember victim survivors, honour lives impacted by violence, and stand together in support of safety, healing, and hope. 💜 Please share your photos with us below.

Together, we can raise awareness, strengthen support, and work towards a future free from domestic and family violence.

I’m really grateful to have been part of the Women's Health and Equality Queensland Forum with part of our team. It was such a meaningful day filled with honest conversations, shared experiences, and a real sense of purpose.

The discussions around domestic and family violence (DFV) were especially powerful. They reinforced how important awareness, collaboration, and ongoing support are if we want to create real, lasting change. There’s still so much work to do, but spaces like this remind me we’re not doing it alone.

Leaving feeling reflective, motivated, and hopeful for what’s ahead 💜

Excited to be attending training with Empower Assistance! 🐾

I’m learning how to properly handle Poppy, our beautiful therapy dog, and build the skills needed to support her in helping others. It’s such a rewarding experience to understand how much care, communication, and teamwork goes into this role.

Can’t wait to continue this journey with Poppy and see the positive impact we can make together 💙
