💜 AN IMPORTANT UPDATE ABOUT Community Connection Day! 💜
After a lot of consideration, we have made the difficult decision to postpone our upcoming Community Connection Day.
Some of you may already know that last week I was unexpectedly rushed into emergency surgery to have my appendix removed after it decided to become very angry! 😅
We knew this left us with a very short timeline, but we genuinely hoped I would recover quickly enough for us to still go ahead.
Unfortunately, my recovery hasn't gone quite as smoothly as we'd hoped.
We have looked at every possible option and asked ourselves whether there was a way to make the day happen regardless. There are so many amazing people who have already volunteered their time, donated, organised activities, prepared things behind the scenes and supported this event. Walking away from that commitment has been incredibly difficult.
But sometimes you have to accept that your health needs to come first.
So, after weighing everything up, we've made the decision that postponing the event is the right thing to do.
❤️ BUT PLEASE HEAR THIS — COMMUNITY CONNECTION DAY IS NOT CANCELLED!
It is simply POSTPONED.
We absolutely still intend to hold Community Connection Day, and in fact, we already have plans to run more than one in the future.
The whole idea behind Community Connection Day is bringing our community together, creating opportunities, celebrating inclusion and making sure everyone has a place where they belong.
That hasn't changed.
If anything, this gives us the opportunity to take a breath, get my health back on track and come back with an even bigger and better day.
To every organisation, business, volunteer, sponsor, community group and individual who has supported us so far — thank you. 💜
Thank you for believing in what we're trying to create.
Thank you for giving your time.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
And thank you for being part of this journey with us.
We will share more information about the new date as soon as we can.
For now, I'm going to concentrate on getting better — apparently my appendix has decided that running community events wasn't enough excitement for one week! 😂
We'll see you at Community Connection Day. Just not quite when we originally planned. 💜
With love and gratitude,
