🎥 𝗠𝗘𝗘𝗧 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗥𝗦: 𝗧𝗼𝗺 𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗺𝘀 ⭐

Meet 𝗧𝗼𝗺 𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗺𝘀 (partnered with 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗮 𝗟𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗿 💃🕺), who is stepping onto the dancefloor for Swinging with the Stars 2026 to support a cause close to home.

Tom is dancing for Stand Like Stone's 𝗦𝗘 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗳 𝗦𝘂𝗯 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗱, supporting communities in the Limestone Coast to respond to and recover from times of need.

A sheep farmer who believes anything equal parts fun and charitable “has to be a good thing”, Tom has stepped up to take on the challenge and give back to the region he calls home. With three sons and fifteen dogs keeping life busy, he’s swapping paddocks for the dancefloor and embracing the experience in good humour.

Tom jokes this might be his last chance to see if a dance career is calling – but behind the humour is a genuine commitment to making a meaningful difference for local communities.

Meet 𝗠𝗲𝗴 𝗠𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗱 (partnered with 𝗔𝗱𝗮𝗺 𝗦𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗵 💃🕺), who is stepping onto the dancefloor for Swinging with the Stars 2026 to support a cause close to home.

Meg is dancing for Stand Like Stone's Grant High School 𝗦𝘂𝗯-𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗱, helping create opportunities that support the learning, wellbeing and future pathways of local students.

As a youth worker, Meg is passionate about supporting families and young people. She is taking part to show her daughter that anything is possible, even when stepping outside your comfort zone feels scary – especially when it’s for a cause that truly matters.

Meg is embracing the challenge with determination and heart, ready to give it her all on the dancefloor at The Barn while raising vital funds to support positive futures for local students.

🎥 𝗠𝗘𝗘𝗧 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗥𝗦: 𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗟𝗶𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘁 ⭐

Meet Will Limbert (partnered with Amelia Clark 💃🕺), who is stepping onto the dancefloor for Swinging with the Stars 2026 to support a cause close to home.
Will is dancing for Stand Like Stone's 𝗡𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗼𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝗦𝘂𝗯 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗱, helping strengthen local projects and community wellbeing across the district.

Inspired after watching the event at The Barn in 2025, Will was energised by the incredible atmosphere and knew he wanted to be part of something that brings people together for a good cause.
Will is no stranger to a challenge. In 2024, he rowed sections of the Zambezi River with his then-fiancée Lizzie for charity – navigating croc infested shallows and hippo watched waters. He admits that dancing in front of a crowd might be even more daunting, but that’s exactly why he’s doing it – to push himself and make a meaningful difference locally.

"𝗔𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗟𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗲, 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿. 𝗪𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗮𝘀. 𝗪𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺. What is being created here is not just short-term accommodation. It's safety. It's dignity. It's the chance for someone to take a breath and begin again.” - Stand Like Stone CEO Jason Wallace.

The Millicent Community Church is repurposing its primary worship space to become a sanctuary for women and children escaping domestic violence, with community groups, service providers and volunteers coming together to help make the project a reality.

Jason took the opportunity at a celebration of the project on Thursday evening to thank the many organisations and individuals contributing, particularly Pastor Shaun Mulick and the Millicent Community Church for their willingness to sacrifice their primary worship space to meet a critical community need.

"𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗮𝘆, '𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲 𝗮 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘄.' 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝘁 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲," 𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗶𝗱.

"This is part of a longer journey to strengthen how our community responds to the challenges of our time, in this case, providing a place of safety for people to leave violence, to make sure they don't just escape harm, but are supported into stability and a better future.”

The Limestone Coast Environmental Resilience Sub Fund has been launched with a $20,000 contribution from the community raised on Friday night at Our Resilient Future: An Evening with Dr Richard Harris OAM.

This is an important milestone for Stand Like Stone and the community, creating a new resource that will support grassroots environmental projects and continue to grow over time, delivering benefits for our region for generations to come.

The event also generated funds to support the ongoing work of Stand Like Stone, strengthening our ability to back community initiatives across the Limestone Coast.

Harry’s compelling presentation had the audience enthralled as he shared the story of the Thai cave rescue ahead of the entertaining auction led by Tom Pearce and George Kidman, encouraging bids from the audience to reach our target.

Thank you to Parker Coonawarra Estate, St Bees Catering and everyone who contributed to the gala event, whether by attending and contributing on the night or donating items for our auctions and raffle.

The night was a powerful demonstration of what can be achieved when a community comes together with a shared purpose.

Together, we are making a difference.

Thank you to everyone who attended, supported and contributed in any way - your generosity has helped create something enduring for our region.

Our Resilience Future was a Connecting Communities event sponsored by the Department of Primary Industries and Regions through the Family and Business Support Program as part of the $97 million Drought Support Package.

What a night 🎉🙌
It was fantastic to see our community come together at Parker Coonawarra Estate for Our Resilient Future: An Evening with Dr Richard “Harry” Harris.
From the conversations and connections, to Harry’s inspiring insights and the generosity shown throughout the night, it was a truly special evening.
These moments capture something we’re incredibly proud of - people coming together with a shared commitment to the future of the Limestone Coast.
Thank you to everyone who attended, supported and contributed to making the night such a success.
We look forward to sharing the outcomes from the evening very soon.
