A Little Local Help Needed🩵

We are wondering if anyone in our local community might have some storage space available for a friend of The Dish.

He has been using a storage facility to keep his belongings, but unfortunately it has become too expensive for him to continue paying for it.

We're hoping someone might have a spare shed, garage space or another suitable storage area where he could safely keep some boxes of personal belongings.

If you have any space available, or know someone who might be able to help, we would be so grateful if you could send us a private message.

Sometimes, a little kindness and a helping hand can make a world of difference to someone doing it tough. 💜

Thank you for being such a wonderful and supportive community. 🙏

💇‍♀️❤️ **A BIG THANK YOU TO MICHAEL!** ❤️💇‍♂️

We’d love to give a huge shout-out and thank you to our amazing local hairdresser Michael from pure perfection hair who kindly comes to **The Dish every month** to cut hair for the people we support. ✂️💕

What may seem like a simple haircut means so much. It’s a chance for people to feel good about themselves, have a chat, enjoy some pampering and walk away feeling a little more confident. 😊

We are so grateful for the time, kindness and care you give each month. Your generosity and support of The Dish and our community makes a real difference.

Thank you for not only making people look fabulous, but helping them feel fabulous too! 🥰✂️❤️

We truly appreciate you! 🌟

A massive thank you to Hornsby RSL Club for their incredible generosity and ongoing commitment to supporting The Dish of St John’s and 14 other wonderful charities. As Lisa Higgs perfectly put it on Thursday night, "Ultimately, community is about people helping people and that is something worth investing in." 🤝💙✨

💛 Today is R U OK?Day.

Sometimes the most important thing we can give someone is our time.

A conversation, a phone call, a cuppa together or simply taking a moment to check in can mean more than we realise.

Today is a reminder to ask “Are you OK?” and to take the time to really listen to the answer.

Because checking in with the people around us matters not only on R U OK?Day, but every day.

💛 Today, make time to check in.

💛 Can you help give someone the gift of independence? 💛
POSITION FILLED! THIS IS AN AMAZING COMMUNITY WE LIVE IN.

We are hoping our wonderful local community might be able to help.

The Dish currently supports a lovely Afghan refugee lady who has recently achieved something she is incredibly proud of — she has passed her Learner's Licence test! 🚗

For many of us, learning to drive is simply something we do as teenagers. But for her, this represents so much more.

After rebuilding her life in a new country, obtaining her driver's licence would give her greater independence, confidence and access to opportunities for employment and community connection.

She is so excited about finally being able to learn to drive, but unfortunately driving lessons are financially out of reach.

We are wondering if there is a local driving school or driving instructor who may be willing to donate a few driving lessons to help her on her journey towards getting her licence.

It would be an incredibly meaningful gift and could genuinely help change her future.

If you can help, or know a local driving instructor or driving school who might be interested, please get in touch with us via Facebook Messenger or email us at [email protected].

Please share this post — you never know who in our community might be able to help! 💛
