Remember when making friends just happened? A shared game at lunch and suddenly you had a best mate.

As adults, work, moves and busy lives can push friendship down the list. Friendcraft 2.0 by Utopia Rising is a three-hour workshop that uses playful challenges and real-life scenarios to explore how connections turn into friendships, and how to keep them going.

Moving again after cancer can feel like a big step. You don't have to take it alone. πŸ’›

Cancer Rehab Pilates is a gentle fortnightly class at Little BIG House for people affected by cancer, whether you're in treatment, in recovery, or years on.

Each session is led by Aditi, a physiotherapist who specialises in cancer rehabilitation. It combines adapted Clinical Pilates, breathing work, and gentle strength and mobility, with time for a relaxed chat with people who truly get it.

No Pilates experience is needed. Just come as you are and move at your own pace.

πŸ“ Level 1, Little BIG House, Flour Mill of Summer Hill
πŸ’Έ AUD 25 per session

Got a half-finished project haunting your laptop?

Shut Up and Write! is coming to Little BIG House, and it's exactly what it sounds like. There's no workshop, no critique and no pressure to share. It's just a room full of people quietly getting words on the page.

Each session kicks off with quick intros, settles into focused, silent writing time, then wraps up with a relaxed check-in on how everyone went.

Novel, thesis, blog, diary, screenplay, or something you haven't named yet, it's all welcome. Seasoned writers and total beginners alike.

Hosted by Inner Story, part of the world's largest community of writing groups.

πŸ“… Every Thursday from 8 October, 2–3:30 pm
πŸ“ Ground Floor, Little BIG House, Flour Mill of Summer Hill
πŸ’Έ Free, bookings via Eventbrite - https://littlebigfoundation.org/series/shut-up-and-write/

Bring your laptop or notebook, and let's get writing!

Mental health affects all of us. Yet so often we stay quiet about it, pushing through, keeping it together, hoping no one notices.

This month is a gentle nudge to change that. To normalise the conversation. To check in on yourself and the people around you. And to remember that asking for support is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Whatever you're carrying right now, you don't have to carry it alone.

If you need a safe space to connect and be supported, join us every Friday 6–9 pm at the Little BIG House for Safe Space, a warm, welcoming space where you can show up exactly as you are.

You matter. And we've got you.

Do we even need community hubs?

The power of shared community spaces is often underestimated.

Research increasingly points to community and green spaces as a form of social infrastructure that helps facilitate interactions between residents and reduce loneliness. These spaces bring people together across generations, cultures, and economic backgrounds, creating opportunities to build trust, share experiences,
But community hubs don't thrive by accident.

To really work, we have found that they need:
πŸ”Ή Equity of access
πŸ”Ή Purposeful design
πŸ”Ή Active programming
πŸ”Ή Ongoing care and maintenance
πŸ”Ή Community-led planning

Investment in these spaces isn't a "nice to have" β€” it's an important public health intervention.

Watch the Flour Mill rise around us.

This time-lapse shows years of change, with the Little BIG House standing steady while the apartments of the Flour Mill development went up around it. Our heritage building and its pointed roof stayed put through all of it.

We love remembering our history and where we came from and believe every new community should have a Little BIG House.

You'll find us at 16 Flour Mill Way, Summer Hill, right in the heart of the Flour Mill precinct, next to Harvest Park and Mungo Scott Plaza. It's a place where heritage charm meets modern living, surrounded by local cafes, shops and green space, and closely connected to the community around it.

Still time. ⏳

The Little BIG House wats to hear about your most loved events and what makes them work. Under 10 minutes, anonymous, and it's how we decide what runs next year.

If the House has been a good part of your year, this is the bit where you tell us why, and what would make it better.

Little BIG is humbled to be named a 2026 Semi Finalist in the Beyond Bank Community Group Award, part of the 7NEWS Community Achievement Awards NSW/ACT.

These awards recognise the community groups behind strong, connected communities: the volunteers who give their time, the organisations supporting people through hard times, and the local teams running the programs and events that bring people together. They celebrate groups creating impact in areas like community connection, inclusion, disadvantage, financial wellbeing and environmental sustainability, from small volunteer-led initiatives through to established not-for-profits.

Connection is what Little BIG works on every day, so being named a semi finalist means a lot. It's especially meaningful knowing the nomination came from our own community, the people we do this work for and with.

Thank you to everyone who has backed Little BIG along the way!

The sun goes down and the Little BIG House lights up.

There's something about walking past after dark and seeing it full of life. The kettle's on, someone's setting up a game, laughter spilling out the front door. This place doesn't switch off when the sky goes dark. If anything, that's when it gets going.

If you haven't dropped by in the evening yet, you're missing the coziest part of the day.
