🎉 WE’RE MOVING… AND WE NEED OUR DREAM TEAM! 💪💜

It’s finally happening — Invisible Illnesses Inc is on the move to our brand-new home at Unit 1, 12 Day Road, East Rockingham! 🏡🦋

Being a self-funded organisation we need to get set up and operating as quickly as possible

But before we can unpack the magic, we need your help!

📦 Move Weekend: 1st–2nd November
🛠️ Set-Up Week: 3rd–9th November

We’ll be packing, lifting, unpacking, decorating, drilling, and transforming an empty space into a hub full of heart — and we’d love you to be part of it! 💪

Got a drill, screwdriver, or Allen key? Even better — we’ll trade you tools for treats! 😉

We’ll keep you fueled with lunch, drinks, and plenty of good vibes as we bring our new home to life together.

Let’s make this move one to remember — from Struggle to Strength: Inspiring Hearts, Igniting Hope. 💜

Let’s show what community spirit looks like — one box, one screw, and one laugh at a time! 🙌

💜 Vote 1 for Lorna Buchan for Mayor

Lorna has always been a strong voice for our community — not just at election time, but all year round. She shows up, listens, and takes action.

🌟 Why Vote for Lorna?

She champions grassroots charities and understands the importance of supporting local organisations doing the hard yards without big budgets.

Lorna is highly visible and approachable — you’ll see her at events, fundraisers, and community activities, not just during campaigns.

She has a proven track record of advocacy for the vulnerable, giving a platform to voices that are often overlooked.

Lorna was proud to serve as an Ambassador for Invisible Illnesses Inc. before stepping into her role as Deputy Mayor, and she continues to support our work and our community.

She believes in keeping Rockingham inclusive, connected, and supportive for everyone.

💙 If you want a Mayor who genuinely cares, who has walked alongside local groups, and who will keep putting people first — Vote 1 for Lorna Buchan.
