🌟 It's Volunteer Week! 🌟

Meet Neil, one of our longest-serving volunteers, who has been with us since before Platform 1 even opened its doors.

Neil played a key role in helping to clear out and paint the building, and he continues to be a valued part of our team today. A regular in the café, he enjoys chatting with our customers and participants, helping to create the warm and welcoming atmosphere we're known for.

A keen gardener, Neil also takes great pride in tending to the station planters and helping to keep the town planter looking beautiful.

Thank you, Neil, for your dedication, hard work, and ongoing support of Platform 1. We are incredibly grateful for everything you do. 💚

🌟 Volunteer Week Spotlight: Meet Richie! 🌟

This Volunteer Week, we’re celebrating the amazing people who help make Platform 1 such a special place.

Meet Richie, one of our dedicated volunteers who gives his time every week. Richie plays a vital role in helping to keep things running smoothly, supporting our activities, and ensuring that everyone who visits feels welcome and happy.

Whether he's helping customers, supporting participants, or lending a hand wherever it's needed, Richie's commitment and positive attitude make a real difference to our team and community.

Thank you, Richie, for your hard work, dedication, and the time you give to Platform 1. We truly appreciate everything you do! 💙

🌟 It’s Volunteer Week, and it’s time to celebrate the incredible people who make Platform 1 possible!

Platform 1 is built on the dedication, passion, and commitment of our volunteers. Without the countless hours they give and the hard work they put in every week, we simply wouldn’t be where we are today.

As we get ready to celebrate our first year of being open next week, we want to take this opportunity to say a huge THANK YOU to every volunteer who has been part of our journey so far.

Throughout this week, we’ll be shining a spotlight on the amazing work our volunteers do and sharing some of the stories behind the people who help make Platform 1 such a special place.

Join us in celebrating our volunteers – they are the heart of everything we do. 💙

🎨🌿 Here it is – our June schedule of activities, community sessions and special events! 🌿🎨

Join us throughout June at Platform 1, Newtown Railway Station, for a fantastic month of creativity, connection and wellbeing.

This month's wellbeing and senior social sessions are inspired by natural materials and include:
🪨 Stone Painting
🌊 Driftwood Crafts
🖌️ Make Your Own Paintbrushes
✏️ Drawing with Charcoal

We're also excited to be hosting an extra special workshop on 13th June with the lovely Sam from Skin Care Bootique. Tickets are available to purchase from the café.

Taking part in community sessions and creative activities can help improve wellbeing, reduce isolation, build confidence, encourage mindfulness, and provide opportunities to meet new people in a welcoming and supportive environment.

Whether you're looking to learn a new skill, relax, socialise or simply try something different, we'd love to see you there!
