A busy couple of days for the BLUEHOPE crew.

To say we are blown away by the generosity, and will be forever grateful for the efforts, of the team at the QPS Dog Squad is an understatement. In November 2025 the Dog Squad released their 2026 calendar with the proceeds to be split between BLUEHOPE and Blue Paws Association Inc. On Tuesday afternoon an official presentation of an oversized cheque, with a VERY large number on it, was held at the Dog Squad facility at Oxley. Senior Constable Amanda Booker of Broadbeach Station and SER Media Officer Lorelei Bates were also presented with certificates of appreciation for their fundraising efforts. Selling over 300 calendars at 30 bucks a pop, you do the math of their contribution to the mammoth fundraising drive. An amazing, and humbling, effort. Thank you ladies, and thank you to the QPS Dog Squad.

This morning saw us head to the Coomera Police Complex for a station BBQ. A great turn out saw us serve up almost 90 burgers in under an hour, which then gave us the opportunity to really reinforce our simple, but very important, message to please speak up and get support, no matter where and with who, and whether it be a friend, colleague or medical professional. Just don't be unwell in silence. A big thank you to Coomera Station OIC S/Sgt Elisha Edwards for providing the venue and also getting the message out about our BBQ.We have found that the numbers of people who come out for the BBQ can often reflect the culture and leadership within a station. Coomera looks like it's in good hands. Thank you also to Gold Coast District Officer Chief Superintendent Kylie Rigg for coming along and saying a few words to the troops.

Stay safe blue family.

BLUEHOPE's first outreach BBQ for 2026 saw us head up to Noosa Heads Station. The crew smashed the chicken and beef hamburgers, and even those after a vegan option were left satisfied. A positive group chat focussing on the importance of just speaking up and reaching out if you're struggling or don't feel well, emphasised when our Speaker of the House Brad Rix got a little bit emotional talking about the loss of 3 mates in '25. What we loved about today was how engaging, positive and appreciative the troops were, a clear reflection and bi-product of the leadership of their OIC S/Sgt Nick Patterson and Patrol Inspector John Mahony. More to come in 2026. Stay safe, speak up, get help, look after each other
