This is quickly becoming a monthly favourite!

These gatherings provide more than just a chance to catch up over coffee — they create a space where people can connect, share experiences, support one another, and feel part of something bigger. Building strong community connections can make such a difference!

Thank you to the ParaQuad Association of Tasmania Inc. for bringing people together each month. If you have the opportunity to attend a future Coffee & Connection, I encourage you to come along — you'll be warmly welcomed 🧡

What a lovely morning at Coffee and Connection yesterday! ☕

Rain and all, it was so great to see familiar faces and welcome some new ones to the table. These catch-ups are a highlight of our month and it's all thanks to the wonderful people who show up. If you missed this one, we'd love to see you next time!

Our next Coffee and Connection is on Thursday 2 July, 11am–12pm at Rivulet Cafe in South Hobart.

RSVP here so we can save you a spot 👉 https://bit.ly/3Q6J39V
