Today was all
about connection, laughter, and a few friendly games!

We welcomed residents from St Andrewโ€™s Aged Care Facility for our Coffee & Chat, joined by our wonderful volunteers from the Robina Lions Club and Matt from our CRT Team.

From UNO battles to chess challenges and domino fun, our beautiful outdoor area was filled with smiles, conversation, and shared moments.

A big thank you to everyone who came along and helped make the morning so special - itโ€™s days like these that remind us how much joy community brings.
