🌞 Sunday Funday! 🌿
Take the chance today to get out and about, stretch those legs, and soak up some fresh air. Whether it’s a walk around town, time in the garden, or a catch-up with friends—every little bit of movement helps boost your mood and wellbeing. 💚
👣 Get active
🌬️ Breathe in that fresh air
☀️ Enjoy the day
Sometimes the best thing we can do is slow down, step outside, and reconnect with the world around us.

💙 June is Men’s Health Month & Men’s Mental Health Month 💙
At Childers Neighbourhood Centre, we’re encouraging our community to take a moment this June to check in—on your health, and on each other.
Men’s physical and mental health often gets overlooked, but it’s so important to speak up, reach out, and stay connected. Whether it’s booking a health check, having a yarn with a mate, or simply taking time to look after yourself—every small step matters.
🤝 Let’s support the men in our community
💬 Start a conversation
👣 Take that first step towards better health
You’re not alone—our community is here for you.
If you or someone you know needs support:
📞 Lifeline – 13 11 14 (24/7)
📞 MensLine – 1300 78 99 78

We had so much fun and learning last year when the Butchulla Land and Sea Rangers visited Childers and helped celebrate NAIDOC week with stories, art and activities. They have decided to come again, this time showing us sand art, a smoking ceremony and traditional dance and song. Join us on Wednesday 8 July at Millennium Park from 9.30am to celebrate. There will be a free BBQ also.

The Victorian Government has established a redress scheme to acknowledge the impact of historical forced adoption practices on mothers who continue to live with the serious, complex and ongoing effects of forced separation from their babies. The Scheme is open to mothers who gave birth in Victoria, or were Victorian residents who gave birth interstate, and who were forcibly separated from their newborn babies soon after birth, prior to 1990. For more information, please see flyer attached.

🥶 Feeling the chill today! Funny how the colder it gets, the more we crave something spicy 🌶️🔥
Nothing like a bowl of warm food packed with chillies to warm you up from the inside out. Who else turns to a bit of heat when the weather cools down? 😄
We have a huge donation of chillies from Five Ways Fruit, Vege and Plant Stand. Italian Bull Horn - sweet and used for frying or roasting. Jalapeno pepper - yep you all know this one. Shish*to pepper - typically mild.
Pop into the centre and collect some today. Stay cosy everyone! ❄️🌶️💛
