A big thank you to Penny and Michelle from Randwick TAFE, who are studying a Bachelor of Early Childhood and Education and have just completed their Professional Experience placement with our Factory team.

They jumped straight in on their second day, supporting our Volunteer Awards and taking the lead on creating decorations for National Hamburger Day.

We hope you enjoyed your time with us as much as we truly enjoyed having you!

We wrapped up our May activities by celebrating National Hamburger Day, which is always a huge hit. The event brought everyone together for a relaxed and fun atmosphere, with a BBQ-style setup serving a variety of hamburgers, including vegetarian options. Attendees had the chance to customise their burgers, enjoy refreshments, and connect with others in the community. It was a great way to finish off the month, with plenty of smiles, good food, and positive feedback from everyone involved.

Congratulations City of Sydney RSPCA NSW and the Cat Protection Society NSW on another fantastic Redfern Waterloo Pet day event which we are proud to partner with!

During the four hours, more than 700 residents attended with 347 companion animals, including 236 dogs, 106 cats, and 5 rabbits. All pets received free veterinary health checks.

This much-loved event would not be possible without the support of over 100 veterinarians, veterinary students, and volunteers from the valued event partners.

🌟 Celebrating the Heart of Our Community 🌟

Behind every strong community are the people who give their time, energy, and care to support others. From grassroots initiatives to local programs, our volunteers are the driving force creating connection, opportunity, and belonging across the Inner City. We’re proud to shine a light on some of the incredible individuals and groups whose efforts make a real difference every single day. 👏💛
South Sydney Herald
In a time when print media is declining and funding is tight, the South Sydney Herald continues to shine—delivering 22,000 copies locally each month and reaching another 30,000 readers online. Their commitment to independent, community-focused storytelling keeps the voices of Redfern and Waterloo heard.

CRC
Every week, an incredible team of volunteers powers the local bike group—serving on the steering committee and giving up two evenings to share their skills. Across summer, they support up to 50 people in a single night, helping build confidence, connection, and community through bikes.

Spanish Community Care Association & Counterpoint Students
Recognising the ongoing contributions of volunteers who continue to strengthen community support networks and programs through care, learning, and connection.

Community Dignity Response
Working tirelessly on the ground—this team brings people together with initiatives like the Saturday BBQ outside OzHarvest in Waterloo and their new Friday lunch, already earning fantastic feedback.

Redlink – Community Activation in Redfern
Through social activities and shared experiences, Redlink continues to foster inclusion and connection, bringing people together and strengthening community spirit.

👏 To all these volunteers—thank you for the time, care, and passion you give. You are what makes our community thrive. 💛

We’ve been a little quiet on our socials lately—May has been a whirlwind of activities and events! Keep an eye out for more photos coming soon from our Volunteer Awards and the City of Sydney Redfern Waterloo Pet Day.

We also wrapped up Neighbourhood Centre Week with an Elvis extravaganza at the Waterloo Neighbourhood Centre. As you can see, everyone had an absolute ball!
