Our kids have been busy again and this time they’ve taken over the shed door! 🎨✨

They spent the afternoon decorating it with their own colours, ideas and creativity, and honestly… it’s now one of my favourite things on our property. There’s something so special about watching them express themselves so freely, no rules, no perfection, just pure imagination.

What was once just a plain old shed door is now a little piece of their childhood stamped in bright colours and happy memories. ❤️

Sometimes it’s the smallest things that remind us how lucky we are to have moments like this with our kids.

Proud mum moment for sure! 🥰🌈

🚨 URGENT CALL OUT! 🚨
Our Christmas Toy Drive is just around the corner and we are desperately short on teenager gifts.

Teens are always the toughest age group to buy for, and we want to make sure every single young person doing it tough still feels seen, valued and included this Christmas. 💛

We urgently need donations of:
• Makeup + beauty items
• Body care sets
• Deodorant + fragrance mists
• Hair products
• Vouchers (Kmart, Big W, Coles, EB Games etc.)
• Teen accessories
• New small electronics / gadgets

If you’re able to help, even with just one item, it truly makes a huge difference.
Please donate ASAP so we can make sure these gifts get to where they’re needed most!

Thank you for always showing up for our community. ❤️

✨ Happy Sunday, everyone! ✨
There’s something truly magical about Sundays, a soft pause, a deep breath, a moment to reset before a brand-new week begins.

Today is your reminder that no matter how the last week went whether it was filled with wins, challenges, chaos, or quiet moments, you made it through. And tomorrow? Tomorrow is a fresh start. A clean slate. A chance to step forward with new energy, new intentions, and new opportunities.

Use today to recharge.
Use today to reflect.
Use today to remind yourself how capable, strong, and resilient you really are.

🌿 A new week begins tomorrow, and it’s yours to shape.
Walk into it with hope.
Walk into it with purpose.
Walk into it knowing that you’re growing every single day.

Here’s to a powerful week ahead, filled with kindness, strength, success, and moments that remind you why you keep going. 💫

You’ve got this. Always. 🙌

A massive thank you to our incredible community! ❤️

As many of you know, we’ve been supporting Jay for nearly a year now, and losing his dingo Jenna hit him extremely hard. But the way our community rallied together, sending messages, sharing posts, keeping an eye out, and offering genuine support, was truly amazing.

Because of YOU, Jenna is now home safe. We picked her and Jay up last night and took them home, and the relief and happiness on Jay’s face said it all. He is absolutely over the moon, and honestly… so are we.

Words can’t express how much this means to all of us. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. Our community is something special. ❤️🐾

After today’s outreach, we had the absolute privilege of heading over to the home of the Gippsland Santa Run crew and wow… we were blown away! 🎄✨

The decorations, the effort, the Christmas spirit… it honestly left us speechless. This legend put his heart into bringing joy to families every single year, and seeing it up close was something special!

✨ A little reminder…
On the 20th of December, we’ll be cruising through towns with the Gippsland Santa Run team, spreading Christmas cheer, handing out lollies, waving to families and bringing smiles wherever we go!

Then at 5pm, we all head to the Moe Neighbourhood House where the real magic continues…
🎁 Toy handouts for families doing it tough
🔥 BBQ
🎶 Music
🎅 Characters dressed up and spreading joy

It’s going to be a huge, heart-warming day and we can’t wait to share it with our community.
Let’s bring Christmas spirit to those who need it most! 💛

🎄 CHRISTMAS DONATION CALL-OUT – HELP US BRING JOY TO KIDS, TEENS & ADULTS! 🎄

As we prepare for our Christmas Toy Run on the 20th of December at the Moe Neighbourhood House (5pm), we’re once again reaching out to our amazing community for support. This event brings comfort, hope, and smiles to so many families doing it tough and we can’t do it without you.

This Christmas, we are seeking donations of:

🧸 Toys – for babies, toddlers, and young children
🎒 Teen items – self-care packs, headphones, sports items, journals, accessories, games
💳 Vouchers – Kmart, Target, Big W, Rebel, or general gift cards
🎁 Christmas presents – new or second-hand in excellent condition for kids and teens
🎄 Adult gifts – body wash sets, socks, candles, mugs, slippers, self-care packs, etc.

We also want to make sure adults doing it tough feel valued too. Many parents go without so their children can have Christmas, so even a small gift goes a long way in reminding them they matter.

If you would prefer to donate financially to help us purchase gifts, wrap items, or cover Toy Run costs, you can do so here:

Bank Transfer Details:
Name: GCS-Raising awareness one drive at a time INC
BSB: 083-543
ACC: 504-255-664
(Every donation over $2 is tax deductible)

Every contribution, whether it’s a gift or a few dollars goes directly to families who need it most. With your support, we can make this Christmas brighter for every child, teen, and parent we reach.

To donate items or ask questions, simply message our page and we’ll arrange drop-off or collection.

Thank you for helping us spread hope this Christmas ❤️

If you’ve been wondering what’s going on at GCS lately… you’re not alone.
And honestly? A lot has been happening, more than we’ve shared publicly.

Over the past few weeks, our team has been working quietly but powerfully behind the scenes. We’ve been rebuilding, reorganising, and strengthening the foundation of everything we do. From securing safer storage for our toy donations, to planning new community outreach programs, to forming partnerships that we’ve only ever dreamed of… things are shifting in the best possible way.

We’ve met families doing it tough, listened to people who needed a voice, and stood beside those who felt alone. Every conversation, every moment, every challenge has reminded us exactly why GCS exists.

And now, we’re finally ready to bring our supporters, old and new back into the heart of it all.

✨ New collaborations.
✨ More hands-on support for families.
✨ Fresh opportunities to volunteer, donate, or get involved.
✨ And a few exciting announcements that we’ve been waiting to share.

If you’ve followed us before, drifted away, or just haven’t checked in for a while… now’s the perfect time to reconnect. GCS is growing. Evolving. Becoming stronger than ever and we’d love for you to be part of that journey.

Big things are coming, and so much good is on its way.
Stick around… the next chapter is going to be something special. 💛

📢 Event Postponed – Weather Update 🌧️

Due to the recent heavy rains and more forecast throughout the week, the track and grounds will not be in suitable condition for racing. After assessing the situation, we are making this decision now to keep all competitors and spectators informed early.

As a result, this weekend’s Speedway event has been postponed.

📅 New Date: TBC

Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to seeing everyone back at the track on the 26th of December for an awesome weekend of racing! 🏁

We just wanted to jump on and apologise for not being very active today ❤️

We’ve been flat-out moving all the toys for our Christmas Toy Run into a safe and secure place. With Christmas getting closer, we want to make sure every single toy is protected and ready for the kids and families doing it tough this year 🎁✨

Our toys are adding up and we have more coming daily so if you or anyone you know needs help with toys this Christmas we have been donated these and many more amazing secondhand (cleaned, working and sanitised) items to give out on the 20th of December. Simply send us a message.

On top of that, we've been buried in computer work (our least favourite part of running the charity 😅) but it has to be done to keep things running smoothly.

We’ve also been busy applying for grants and speaking with community members about sponsorship and support so we can continue growing and helping more people across Victoria.

If you’d like to be a part of GCS, you’re always welcome to sponsor us, whether that’s through items, services, or financial support. Every bit of help makes a huge difference, and we’d love to hear from you 🤝💙
