Good morning Sunbury Community!

The temperature has certainly dropped this week, remember to wrap up warm and check in on neighbours and friends, don't forget that even small acts of kindness can make a big difference.

This winter, we're asking for your support with our Winter Food Appeal. Donations of non-perishable food and essential household items help local individuals and families facing hardship during the colder months.

🛒 You can drop your donations into our collection cage located at Sunbury Square.

Every donation, big or small, helps put food on the table and brings comfort to someone in need this winter.

Thank you for helping us keep our community warm, supported, and hopeful. 💙

🍛 July’s Community Lunch was a heartwarming success!

We gathered together to beat the winter chill with some classic, comforting food and even better company. On the menu today was curried sausages and rhubarb crumble.

A massive thank you to our wonderful volunteers who cooked, served, and cleaned up. We appreciate you!

Interested in attending in August? Make sure you book your place by contacting Sunbury Neighbourhood House. It's free to attend but booking is essential to reserve your spot at the table!

This week is National Volunteer Week! 💙

Without our volunteers, CareWorks simply could not operate the way we do. From driving our van, collecting donations, packing hampers, and sorting produce, our volunteers are the backbone of CareWorks.

This National Volunteer Week, we say a heartfelt thank you to every volunteer who gives their time, energy, and compassion to support our community. Your dedication makes a real difference in the lives of so many people every day.

We appreciate you more than words can say! 🙌
