THANK YOU VOLUNTEERS ❤️ This National Volunteers Week, we want to take a moment to truly recognise and celebrate the incredible people who help make our centre what it is. 💙

It takes a village to keep our centre running, and honestly, we could not do this without our volunteers. Week after week, they show up with kindness, patience, generosity, and a genuine desire to help others. They give their time, energy, skills, and hearts to our community, often quietly and without recognition — but their impact is felt every single day.

To our amazing volunteers:

🌟 Anjali – Cafe
🌟 Damien – Mental Health First Aid
🌟 Debra – Playgroup & School Holiday
🌟 Gavin – Gardener
🌟 Jill – Cafe
🌟 Kim – Meet & Greet
🌟 Mark – Ukulele Group
🌟 Maureen – Walking Group
🌟 May – Cheeky Monkeys Closet Op Shop
🌟 Nadja – Line Dancing
🌟 Priya – Admin
🌟 Sarumathy – IT Tech Support
🌟 Sharon – Movie & Mingle and Lunch Bunch
🌟 Sheryl – Cafe
🌟 Vicki – Craft Group

To celebrate and say thank you, we spent time together enjoying a fun team game of Pickleball followed by lunch out together.

Thank you for the countless cups of coffee served, conversations shared, gardens cared for, groups led, problems solved, smiles given, and welcoming spaces you help create. Every role matters. Every hour matters. Every single one of you matters.

We also want to give a very special thank you to our incredible WorkCover team — Annmerie, Cerise, Karina, Kylie, Lauren and Sunitha. Your ongoing support, hard work and dedication each week never go unnoticed, and we are so grateful for everything you bring to our centre and community.

Volunteers are the heart of our centre. You help create connection, belonging, laughter, support and care for so many people in our community. We are endlessly thankful for all that you do and so lucky to have each of you as part of our village.

Happy National Volunteers Week — today and every day, we celebrate you. 🌹

🎉🌿 Happy 100th Birthday to Sir David Attenborough! 🌿🎉

For generations, David Attenborough has inspired people to stay curious, connected, and appreciative of the world around them. His passion for nature, learning, and bringing people together reminds us that life is meant to be explored at every age. 💚

At Ipswich Thriving Seniors, we share that same belief — that growing older should still be filled with friendship, laughter, adventure, and new experiences.

Whether it’s joining us for social outings, bus trips, cooking programs, community events, or simply enjoying a friendly chat over a cuppa, there is a place for everyone in our welcoming community. 🌸

As Sir David celebrates an incredible 100 years today, let it also be a reminder that connection, purpose, and joy never grow old.

Come and join Ipswich Thriving Seniors — because the best memories are made together. 💕

Today we kicked off the week celebrating our beautiful mums, nannas and grandmothers ahead of Mother’s Day 💐

The children had so much fun dressing up just like mum with scarves, heels and handbags, making her a cup of tea, and even setting up a little pamper station with “makeup” to spoil her.

We wrapped up the morning with some lovely card making and creating special flower bouquets to take home 🌸

We hope you all get truly spoilt this weekend — you deserve it! 💕
