Hi Carers,

I’ve just been notified that there will be no provisions for our usual morning tea this month on the 24th of April, as the BBQ is replacing it.

For those who had booked for the morning tea, my apologies I only just found out myself.

I wanted to make sure you’re aware of the change. If you would still like to attend, please arrive at 11:30am for the BBQ.

Thank you for your understanding.

Hi Carers,

Today at our Bunnings Springvale workshop, we made bird feeders together, but what stood out most was not just the activity itself it was the meaningful conversations that unfolded alongside it.

Participants openly shared their experiences in their caring roles, creating a space of understanding, empathy, and connection. These discussions allowed carers to feel seen and heard, while also enabling the exchange of valuable information about respite opportunities, local supports, and helpful services.

Peer-to-peer referrals and shared insights became just as important as the hands-on activity, strengthening both individual confidence and community ties.

This is truly at the heart of what we aim to foster at the Friendly Carers Group. Our sessions are not only about engaging activities, but also about building a supportive network where carers can connect, learn from one another, and access the resources they need.

By integrating practical workshops with opportunities for conversation and support, we create a space that nurtures wellbeing, reduces isolation, and empowers carers in their roles.

We remain committed to expanding these supports by continuing to link carers with respite programs, community organisations, and relevant services, as well as encouraging ongoing peer support beyond the sessions themselves.

Together, we are building a stronger, more connected caring community.

Hello lovely Carers,

Enjoying a lunch break at the Lynbrook Hotel and just had to share these lovely Easter decorations.

They’ve really gone all out, bright, cheerful, and full of that Easter spirit. It makes such a difference to the atmosphere and brings a real sense of joy to the space.

We’d love to see what’s around you too! If you spot any Easter decorations, whether out at a venue or in your own home, please share a photo with the group.

Let’s spread some Easter cheer together.

Hello Carers,

Join us at Bunnings Springvale on Thursday, 16th at 11:00 AM for the Friendly Carers Group Art Workshop!

This creative session offers carers a chance to unwind and express themselves through art, which can be a powerful way to relieve stress and improve mental well-being.

Ours activity will be to make a bird feeder as shown in the photo.

Just like how attracting birds and bees to your backyard can benefit the environment by promoting biodiversity and supporting pollination, engaging in art nurtures the mind and spirit, creating a balanced and healthy space for personal growth.

Connect with others, explore your creativity, and take time for self-care.

RSVP by the 10th of April to reserve your spot, there are only 15 places available.

This will also be posted on the WhatsApp group for our carers who are not on Facebook.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Ps. the workshop listed for the 2rd has been replaced with this one.

Hello Guys,

This beautiful painting by Stella is a wonderful reminder of the power of Art and how it can be more than just something we create or admire, it can be a form of therapy.

It allows us to express feelings that are sometimes hard to put into words, offering comfort, calm, and a sense of connection.

In caring roles especially, taking a moment to create or reflect through art can be incredibly healing.

Thank you Stella, for sharing your creativity with us, it’s truly inspiring.
