Spring is here and a favourite activity for the clients at our Waminda Social and Community Hub is visiting their local garden centre. Travelling to and from the centre on their bus, they enjoy hunting for new plants and flowers to update their gardens and talking to the experts on hand about soil types and caring for their new purchases. The group are also planning to refresh the Hub’s outdoor space in readiness for monthly barbeques so, on their recent visit, were eager to discuss ideas for their new project. Watch this space! ☀🌱🙂 (fb)

As Multicultural Queensland Month draws to a close, we take the opportunity to celebrate the culturally rich community that has flourished at our Amelia House Social and Community Hub in Coorparoo. A sense of connection and belonging in a welcoming and respectful space contributes to a sense of happiness and wellbeing for our Bosnian and Serbian clients. They come for their favourite game (bingo), a spot of exercise and stay for lunch – a traditional Balkan dish made with veal, capsicum and rice. They speak their native language (some with a little English) and enjoy close bonds with their Balkan support workers. 🙂🍽🍲 (fb)
