Community Connections & Wellbeing Day + Creative Space's 9th Birthday

Today, we celebrated Community Connections & Wellbeing Day in Bowral, alongside the 9th Birthday of Creative Space Community Outreach! 🎉

It was wonderful to bring together community members and local services for a day of connection, celebration and wellbeing, in support of R U OK? Day and the incredible work Creative Space does in our community.

The day featured activities, support and information from Highlands Youth Cafe, Erratic Ally, Carer Gateway, SSI, Highlands Community Centre, Creative Space, Hearing Australia, Joyful Sounds for Healing and Refined Moves.

At our Argyle Housing stall, we focused on community connection and growing together. Attendees were invited to plant parsley and mini pansies, while sharing what community means to them.

Community means connection, support, belonging and looking out for one another, and it was so lovely to see that reflected throughout the day.

A big thank you to everyone who came along, connected with others and helped make the day such a special celebration!

A little planning goes a long way!

We know Christmas is fast approaching, and a little planning now can help make the festive season feel more manageable later.

If you’re able to, start thinking about what you can comfortably put aside for Christmas:

💰 Set aside what you can
🎁 Plan your gift budget
📝 Make a list and shop to your budget
🏠 Keep rent, bills and everyday essentials a priority

You don’t need to save a lot all at once, small steps today can mean less financial pressure later.

🏡Regional housing requires regional partnerships.

We were proud to have our CEO, Carolyn Doherty, speak at the Country Mayors Association of NSW meeting at NSW Parliament House last week.

The meeting brought together regional Mayors and senior leaders from across NSW, including NSW Housing Minister the Hon. Rose Jackson MLC, NSW Opposition Leader Ms Kellie Sloane MP, Shadow Housing Minister the Hon. Chris Rath MLC, Homes NSW CEO Rebecca Pinkstone, and representatives from the NSW Grants Commission, IPART and the Office of Local Government.

Carolyn highlighted how collaboration across government, local councils and community housing can turn housing need into practical outcomes, from Griffin Green in Griffith to the Tolland Renewal in Wagga Wagga.

Together, we can deliver more housing, stronger communities and better outcomes for regional NSW.
