๐ CARING FOR OUR CARERS for NATIONAL CARERS WEEK 2026 ๐
๐ธ What a wonderful day at the Carers Pamper Day at Colyton Community Centre yesterday!
We connected with other carers, enjoyed some well-deserved pampering and recognised the extraordinary contribution that carers make every day.
๐ With more than 20,000 carers across the Penrith LGA, it's important to recognise the often unseen work, compassion and love involved in caring for our family members.
๐จ A special highlight was the We Care Project, a beautifully embroidered wall hanging which expresses what it means to give and receive care (see group photo)
๐ Thank you to Community Junction for hosting the day, and to Carer Gateway Wellways and everyone involved in bringing the We Care Project to life.
๐ค It was also a pleasure to welcome Penrith Mayor Todd Carney and see him connecting with Fa'aalu at the community stall (see seated photo)
๐ธ The photos by Krystyna Pollard captured the spirit of the day โ connection, appreciation and community support.
๐ท To every carer in our community: your dedication matters, your contribution is valued, and you deserve care too!
๐ Thank you to everyone who made today special.
