It's World Food Day today.
We join this day to create awareness around ensuring that everyone, everywhere, has regular access to nutritious food.

At Emandleni Buddies, we have been doing just that!
The team has been busy over the last few months growing their own food.
This project has been supported by and Tunnel Quip. Gardens of Hope and SteveFouche has been instrumental in getting supplies, compost and all sorts for this project.

Each area's elderly has their own specific needs. But the aim of Buddies remain the same- to keep an eye on the safety and well-being of our seniors.

Watch this space!

We ❤️ Hilton.

Any size is welcome, and every pair can make a difference! ❤️

Let’s get those little feet onto the field!

🎂❤️ Topic Time, a 5th birthday and an important conversation!

Today, Hilton Buddies celebrated 5 wonderful years with birthday cake and an insightful talk by Jo Stevens-O’Connor about ageing, retirement, and planning for the future.

Jo delivered a hard-hitting reminder that retirement choices are a privilege, and that planning ahead is essential. Too often, a fall or medical emergency forces seniors and their families to make difficult decisions in a hurry.

💭 Planning ahead isn't giving up independence. It's protecting your choices, safety, dignity and quality of life. The best time to consider your future is while you still have the freedom to choose.

A big thank you to Jo for an incredible talk and to everyone who has been part of the Hilton Buddies journey over the past five years. Here's to many more! 🥳

Special thank you to Hilton Quarry Superspar and Nino's Hilton for always supporting our Topic Time.

We ❤️ Hilton!

What a remarkable woman.

We ❤️ Hilton.

Raised in an aristocratic environment, she remembers a childhood far removed from the realities she would later encounter when World War II broke out.

Happy 100th Birthday to one of the original Hilton Buddies - Sarah Pennington.

Sarah joined Buddies in 2021 and has been a fun, determined and spunky member who attended every single one of our functions. She moved out of Hilton a few years ago, but we have followed her well-being all this time.

Happy Birthday!

We ❤️ Hilton.

We have another box up! 📦
In front of PnP The Avenues there is a very lonely blue box waiting for tekkies and soccer boots...
We make it easy for you to clean your cupboards! 😃
Marie Kondo style 😉

We’re so grateful to PL for sharing their experience with Hilton Buddies.

This is exactly why we do what we do. 💛

Moving to a new community can feel lonely, but finding connection, friendship and a sense of belonging can make all the difference.

Thank you for reminding us that sometimes one introduction, one social, and one new connection can open the door to a whole new community. 🌿

We ❤️ Hilton!
