🎬 💖 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚 𝐧𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 — 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐲!

Our 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐎𝐮𝐭 𝟐 𝐌𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐞 𝐍𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 for Mental Health Week was full of laughter, colour and community spirit. It was wonderful seeing families and friends come together for an afternoon and evening under the stars. We hope you enjoyed the catering vouchers - what's a movie without popcorn, or lollies, or ice-cream or..... 😮‍💨

🏰 We hope you enjoyed the jumping castle, axe throwing, lawn games and face painting. It was loads of fun! Let us know what you thought of the event in the comments section ⬇️

Did you get a chance to chat to the team at Headspace, Chappy Amanda or Nikki from Courageous Girls Club about the fabulous work each of these organisations do in the mental health space?

A big THANK YOU to these organisations for coming along, bringing some great information and having the courage to stand up in front of the crowd to chat about what it is they do and how to get in contact with them. 👏

📢 Just want to give an extra shout out to Karen Boulton-Gorry. Karen shared a very personal journey via a Fraser Coast Mates project with the audience. It took a lot of courage to put herself out there like that, but was worth it as we received some really positive feedback and her video really resonated with a number of people, some of whom came up to chat to us.

🎪This event we had a couple of market stalls join us - thank you to Allyz Customs & Giftwares, and Just Ordinarily Odd Designs for bringing along their beautiful and unique products.

📸 Thank you to Glenn from Glenn Morris Photography who has once again done an amazing job capturing the fun of this event. He did a fabulous job and there's some great photos - check them out!

🍿🥤A shout out to our fabulous food/drink vendors, giving us plenty of yummy treats to enjoy throughout the event:

“𝘖𝘩 𝘮𝘺 𝘨𝘰𝘴𝘩! 𝘐'𝘮 𝘈𝘯𝘹𝘪𝘦𝘵𝘺. 𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘐 𝘱𝘶𝘵 𝘮𝘺 𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘧𝘧?”

𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗢𝘂𝘁 𝟮 returns us to the colourful world inside Riley’s mind just as she enters her teenage years - a time when life gets louder, messier and wonderfully complicated.

Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear and Disgust suddenly find themselves sharing space with brand‑new emotions, each determined to help Riley navigate the challenges of growing up. As these emotions clash, compete and learn to work together, Riley discovers how complex feelings can shape confidence, friendships and identity.

This heartfelt, funny and beautifully relatable film invites us all to reflect on our own emotional journeys. Perfect for Mental Health Week!

🍿Join us in Queens Park ("Rotunda" area), for a fun afternoon and wonderful outdoor movie night, celebrating Mental Health Week. We'll have mental health organisations to chat to, market stalls to discover, delicious food & drinks, lawn games, free crafts, free jumping castles and free face painting!

🪙Visit us at the MCPAI tent to enter our Jar Guess competition and try your luck on the $2 Money Board!

Entry is free, but we would be extremely appreciative of a gold coin donation on arrival to help support future movie nights and so we can make our movie nights even more fun!

🪑 BYO Chairs and if you're a little susceptible to cool night air, bring a blanket too.

🕷️Spider-man, Spider-man, does whatever a spider can!

Including going to an awesome movie night, celebrating our beloved superhero, the friendly neighbourhood Spider-man. I think it's safe to say, everyone had a wonderful afternoon and evening under the stars!

❓How did you go with the trivia questions? Lots of prizes were up for grabs, we hope you enjoyed the games and the prizes. The 4 Corners game proved very popular. It was lots of fun!

🦸Thank you to those who got dressed up in their favourite superhero outfit, you looked wonderful and made it very hard to choose the winners of our best dressed competitions.

🙏A big thank you to our volunteers for making this such a fun and successful night:
Jenelle Harrington
Grant Sommerfeld
Karen Boulton-Gorry
Catherine Boulton
Selwyn Connell
Dorelle Rider
Peter Boulton

📢Just want to give an extra shout out to Karen Boulton-Gorry. This was a youth week event and she did a fantastic job of putting the games together, organising the prizes and having the courage to jump up in front of a crowd on event day. It takes a lot of courage and confidence, stepping outside your comfort zone, and so well done to you Karen!

🏆And of course, THANK YOU to our sponsor for supporting this event, without your help these events couldn't be as fun and amazing as they are:
