💙🧡 Supporting Our Local Youth – Youth Roundtable

Hands on Hearts Macarthur was pleased to attend the Youth Roundtable in Ingleburn, gathering valuable information, resources and connections to help us better support the young people we connect with through our community engagement and support groups.

Initiatives like these create important opportunities for young people to explore pathways, connect with services, and access the support they need to build a positive future.

Inspirational speakers Joel and Louise, sharing their journey of overcoming personal adversities and how that made them stronger to persue their prospective careers.

It was also wonderful to see the Rotary Club of Ingleburn there, providing sustenance for the youth and supporting our community.

💛💙 A big thank you Campbelltown City Council, NSW and everyone involved in making the day possible!

Together, we can continue building stronger connections, creating opportunities and empowering our local young people.

🌸🩷 PINK BLOOM PARTY | BREAST CANCER AWARENESS🩷🌸

Hands on Hearts Macarthur was honoured to attend the Pink Bloom Party, hosted by the Skandari Foundation at Alkalizer Cafe in Campbelltown. It was a beautiful, intimate and family-oriented community event, bringing people together to raise awareness and support those affected by breast cancer.

💗 A particularly meaningful moment was hearing from Julie Murphy who shared the story of local community member Sue Cole and her experience of undergoing a mastectomy. Sue was honoured at the event, recognising her personal journey and reminding us of the importance of sharing lived experiences, raising awareness and supporting those affected by breast cancer.

It was heartwarming to see so many community members, families, friends and supporters come together in a spirit of compassion, connection and hope. Events like these remind us of the importance of continuing conversations about breast cancer, encouraging early detection and standing alongside those navigating their journey.

🩷 We were deeply honoured to receive a Certificate of Appreciation from the Skandari Foundation in recognition of Hands on Hearts Macarthur’s support of the Pink Bloom Party. We are sincerely grateful for this acknowledgement and for the opportunity to be part of such a meaningful community initiative.

A heartfelt thank you to the Skandari Foundation for bringing people together to raise awareness, celebrate strength and remind those affected by breast cancer that they are not alone.

Together, through kindness, awareness and community connection, we can make a difference. 🌸

💕 CARERS DAY AT CAMPBELLTOWN HOSPITAL 💕

Behind every caring role is a heart that gives so much!

Hands on Hearts Macarthur was proud to be part of Carers Day at Campbelltown Hospital, a wonderful opportunity to recognise, support and celebrate our amazing carers.

The day was all about connection, information and support, bringing carers together with local services to ask questions, explore resources and discover the support available to them.

It was wonderful to see key services including Social Work, Community Health, Macarthur Legal Centre and Wellways coming together to provide valuable information and support.

A heartfelt thank you to Kirsty Kuoppala for the invitation. We truly appreciate the opportunity to come together, build meaningful connections and continue supporting those who give so much of themselves to others.

Because carers deserve to feel seen, valued, supported and connected. 💗
