Lilly Pilly was honoured to be invited to the Queensland Gives Community Foundation and Queensland Gives Philanthropy Week 2026 celebration at Queensland Parliament House, held in the historic Red Chamber.

The event recognised the incredible impact of community giving, philanthropy, and generosity across Queensland, bringing together individuals and organisations dedicated to creating positive change in their communities.

We are incredibly proud that our own Darren Caulfield was nominated for the Community Philanthropist of the Year Award 2026, recognising his unwavering commitment to supporting children, families, and the wider community. While the nomination itself is a tremendous achievement, it also reflects the collective effort of everyone who supports the work of Lilly Pilly.

It was lovely meeting Margaret McMurdo AC and Christine Ahern, whose contributions to philanthropy and community impact continue to inspire Queenslanders.

Thank you to Queensland Gives for shining a spotlight on the power of giving and the difference that passionate individuals and organisations can make when they come together for a common purpose.

A wonderful afternoon celebrating the incredible volunteers who give so much to our community 💛

Thank you to Michael Crandon MP and Hon. Ann Leahy MP — Minister for Local Government and Water and Minister for Fire, Disaster Recovery and Volunteers — for hosting the Volunteers Week Reception in Coomera and recognising the dedication of volunteers across our region.

At Lilly Pilly, we are so grateful for every volunteer who helps support our families, children and community each and every day. Your kindness, time and compassion truly make a difference 🌿

Thank you to everyone who came out today and supported our Bunnings BBQ—even through the rain ☔💛

We’re so grateful for our community showing up, grabbing a bite, and standing alongside Lilly Pilly.

We pause to remember, reflect, and honour.

This ANZAC Day, we share these special moments of Darren and Lilly during their Kokoda Trek in 2019 — a journey that carries deep meaning, walking in the footsteps of those who showed extraordinary courage, sacrifice, and mateship.

At Lilly Pilly, we hold close the values of resilience, connection, and community. It is a reminder of the strength found in standing together and supporting one another through all of life’s challenges.

Lest we forget 🌺
