A huge thank you to everyone at Western Spirit Football Club for choosing to support Packed With Care through their annual charity match 2026. An afternoon of football, friendly rivalry and plenty of laughs, with an incredible $500 raised!

Western Spirit have been part of our journey for 2 years now, from sharing and supporting our work to having the PWC logo on their women's jerseys. What makes this club so special is the people behind it. They are welcoming, generous with their time and genuinely care about the community around them. It's everything you hope a local sporting club will be.

To everyone who played, organised, donated or cheered from the sidelines, thank you. To the whole Western Spirit family, thank you for continuing to make PWC part of your club community. We really are lucky to have you in our corner. 💛

Congratulations to Scott and his team on taking out this year's bragging rights!

We couldn’t let the month get away from us without a big thank you to Paula and the team at

Another wonderful $415 donated to Packed With Care through their September tax-time giving.

Paula and her team have been such generous supporters of PWC, and I really do appreciate the kindness and thought that goes into choosing to support us again this year.

The Ipswich & Greater Springfield Women's Wellbeing Survey is now open!

Taking part is simple:
- Open to women aged 18+ living in Ipswich, Greater Springfield and surrounds.
- Online and takes approximately 15 minutes.
- Anonymous, with no identifying information requested.
- Answer what you're comfortable sharing and skip what you'd prefer not to.
- You don't need to be experiencing difficulties to participate.
- We want to hear from you, we want to hear from different ages, circumstances and stages of life.

We hear a lot about women's health and wellbeing, but what does everyday life actually look like for women living in our community? We want to hear from local women about their experiences, the pressures they're facing, what's working well and what they believe needs more attention.

Have your say. Your experience matters.

Over 700 lunch packs have been delivered to our local schools for the start of Term 4!

For many families, the weekly grocery shop is becoming harder to manage. It's not always about having nothing in the cupboard, sometimes it's about stretching what's there until payday or wondering how the same amount of money is supposed to cover everything it did a year ago.

These pressures aren't limited to families experiencing crisis, they are being felt in everyday households doing their best to keep everything going.

Foodbank Queensland's research reflects just how widespread this has become, with families across the state facing difficult decisions about what they can afford.

That's why our school lunch support continues to matter.

Through our local school partnerships, we have delivered more than 700 lunch packs to start the term, helping schools provide support to children while taking one small but important pressure off families.

Thank you to our school communities for continuing to work alongside us.

Christmas support is returning to Packed with Care for 2026!
Once again this year we working with our schools to provide a little extra support to families in our community over Christmas and the extended school holiday period.

We will be putting together Christmas stockings filled with a selection of festive treats, toys and Woolworths food vouchers so families can purchase the food and essentials that best suit their needs.

The school holidays can be a long stretch for families, particularly when many of the usual supports available during the school term are closed. Our Christmas initiative aims to ease some of that pressure while bringing a little festive cheer.

Over the coming weeks, I be sharing a list of specific items needed to help prepare these stockings.

If your business, workplace or community group would like to be involved this Christmas, we’d love to hear from you!

We want to hear directly from women about what’s working, what isn’t, the pressures affecting everyday life and what they believe needs more attention in our community.

Packed with Care is about to launch a local women’s wellbeing survey across Ipswich and Greater Springfield.

We hear a lot about what women need, what they’re struggling with, what services they should access, what would improve their health and wellbeing, but the people most affected by those decisions aren’t always the people being asked.

What we learn will be brought together to build a clearer picture of women’s wellbeing locally and help inform future conversations, advocacy and practical community responses.

Before we assume, we listen.

This Queensland Mental Health Week, the theme is Build Community, Build Wellbeing.

It recognises something important: our mental health isn’t shaped by individual experience alone. The communities around us, the relationships we build and our sense of connection and belonging all play a part in our wellbeing.

Connection doesn’t always have to be something big, it can be
- checking in on the person you’ve been thinking about
- staying for a chat after an activity instead of heading straight home
- joining something local
- walking with a friend
- having someone over for dinner
- asking someone how they’re going

At Packed with Care, we see the value of community in many forms, people showing up for one another, local organisations working together and practical support reaching someone when it can make a difference.

Mental health support doesn’t only happen within health services, strong, connected communities have a role to play too.

This week, find one small way to connect.
Build Community. Build Wellbeing.

October brings a lot of important conversations around mental health, breast cancer, pregnancy and infant loss, ADHD and menopause.

Here are a few of the awareness campaigns happening this month, along with the organisations leading the work and the conversations behind them.

Some of these topics are deeply personal, some are still not talked about enough, all of them deserve space.

A very special thank you to Jo from Farfalla Interiors and Events
We recently attended the Greater Springfield Chamber of Commerce Business Awards, where Packed With Care was very proud to be recognised as a finalist.

As always, the event looked incredible with the styling and beautiful table centrepieces created by Jo. What I didn’t know was that she had also decided to sell the centrepieces at the end of the night and donate the proceeds to Packed With Care.

By the end of the night, an incredible $515 had been raised.
Jo, it was such a thoughtful and generous thing to do, thank you for thinking of Packed With Care, for backing what we do and for the genuine kindness behind the gesture, it was such a lovely surprise.

Thank you to everyone who took one of Jo’s beautiful centrepieces home and contributed on the night, congratulations again to all the finalists and winners.
