Supporting the well-being of the community

28/09/2026

Every child deserves a place on the pitch.

Last week, our second All Abilities session brought families back to for another day of football, laughter and small wins. First touches. Weaving through the cones. A shot on goal with a coach cheering them on. And for some, building blocks on the sideline, because there's no one right way to join in.

That's what this program is about: making room for everyone to play, belong and be celebrated, exactly as they are.

Thank you to every family who came along, and to Eltham Redbacks FC for opening their gates to us again.

Our next session is Saturday 14 November. Register via the link below. ❤️

It's more than just a bag.

It's the small, ordinary items most of us never have to think twice about: shampoo, deodorant, a toothbrush. For families doing it tough, these everyday essentials can be one more thing to find room for.

Today's packs were tailored by age and stage: baby bath products for the littlest ones, toothpaste and deodorant for older kids and teens, each one filled with essentials that support a child's health, comfort and confidence.

Thank you to Big Group Hug for turning what we fund into thoughtfully packed toiletry bags that reach the families who need them. 💙

Everyone plays.

On Saturday 12 September, the All-Abilities Football Academy returns in partnership with Eltham Redbacks FC, a free session built for kids aged 5 to 17, whatever their ability. No pressure, no trials just a ball, a pitch, and a chance to belong to a team.

Thanks to The Let them Flourish Foundation for hosting such an incredible occasion.

$125k was raised all together for Silent Sight Foundation to support vital research into blindness caused by Usher Syndrome.

We feel very connected and privileged for the opportunity to be there and contribute our part to such a special night.

Recognition isn’t the goal — impact is.

But every now and then, impact gets the moment it deserves.

Gabby Montagnese has been recognised at the Jagajaga Community Volunteer Awards for her contribution to community — from her leadership at Eltham Redbacks to the work driving the Frank Montagnese Foundation.

This is what it’s about. Showing up, doing the work, and building something that lasts far beyond the moment.

Still getting over what an incredible night this was!

The Tour De Cure Treasures of Melbourne Gala was a record-breaker! And it was one we celebrated in style.

Just some of the highlights from an incredible evening.

$1.34 million.

That is what was raised at Friday night’s Tour de Cure Gala.

An incredible show of generosity in support of life-saving cancer research and community programs. Nights like this do not happen by accident. They happen because people choose to care. They choose to give. They choose to back something bigger than themselves.

We are proud to stand alongside organisations creating meaningful change, and grateful to everyone who contributed to such a powerful evening.

Impact starts with action. And this was action at scale.

As Gabby said so well in her address.

"Together, we're not just attending a Gala. We're changing lives."

Well done to everyone in the room on helping to raise such an incredible amount of money for such a special cause.
