✨ Great news for our Girls on Tools program! 🛠️💜

Thanks to a generous $5,353 community grant from Phillip Island RSL, we've upgraded our workshop with new safety equipment, creating an even safer and healthier space for women to learn woodworking and DIY skills. 👷‍♀️🪚

This support helps us continue building confidence, practical skills, friendships and stronger community connections for the 100+ women who've already taken part and the many more waiting to join! 💪🤝

A huge thank you to the Phillip Island RSL and our amazing volunteers for helping our community thrive. 🙌💙
