💜 Mums and Carers 💜

If you're caring for a child living with a disability or chronic illness, you're warmly invited to join us.

Our free weekly program at Currans Hill Community Hall is a space where you can take a breath, connect with others who understand, learn something new, and share stories in a supportive and welcoming environment.

This term wraps up on 23 June, where we'll celebrate the wins, big and small, and acknowledge the challenges we've faced along the way.

Whether you're looking for support, connection, or simply some time for yourself, we'd love to meet you.

To find out more or express your interest in joining us next term, call 9603 7011.

Does this sound like you? 🙋🏼‍♀️

Are you a parent or carer of a child living with a disability or chronic illness?

If so, we are here for you. We offer a space where you can unwind, relax and chat by attending our free MyTime groups. 💜

Recently, our Currans Hill group created their own calming bottles. A simple tool that can bring a moment of peace during a busy day. Watching the glitter swirl and settle can support stress relief, grounding and a sense of calm.

We meet on Tuesdays from 10:00 to 12:00 at Currans Hill Community Hall, and we'd love for you to join us.

💐 Happy Mother’s Day for Sunday 💐

We’re so grateful to work alongside wonderful mums and carers every week. 💕

Our Playgroups and MyTime groups provide a space for connection and a moment of respite. A safe place to share stories, unwind, have a laugh, and simply 'be' with like-minded women.

Today, we’d like to wish you and all mums a beautiful Mother’s Day this Sunday. We hope it’s filled with love and laughter.

✨ Lunchbox ideas for Term 2 ✨

As a local charity, we are dedicated to supporting families with children and young people aged 0–24 through tailored services, including family work, counselling, and parent support groups.

With Term 2 just around the corner, we know school mornings can feel busy and a little overwhelming, especially for mums with school-aged children. To help make things easier, we’re sharing some fresh, healthy lunchbox ideas to keep mornings organised and stress-free.

A simple way to build a balanced lunchbox is to pick one option from each core food group and mix it up each day:

🍎 Fruit - fresh, frozen, puréed, or canned in natural juice
🥕 Vegetables, legumes and beans
🥛 Milk, yoghurt, cheese and alternatives
🍗 Lean proteins such as meats, poultry, fish, eggs, tofu, nuts, seeds, legumes/beans
🍞 Grain (cereal) foods
💧 Plain water. Always the best choice for hydration

This easy pick-and-mix approach helps create nutritious, tasty lunchboxes that kids will enjoy—and parents can feel good about.

Small changes can make a big difference for busy families. 💛
