We’re excited to have renewed our sponsorship of the Sutherland Titans F.C. for another year!

The Sutherland Titans share an important goal: to include people living with disability in mainstream sport, while having plenty of fun along the way.

Sponsorship funds will go towards club uniforms and helping the Titans maintain and purchase new equipment for training sessions and games.

The first match of the season kicks off this Saturday, 28 March. Let’s come together to support our little Titans on the field! 💙💛

Interested in volunteering as a Titan Buddy, assisting players to kick and control the ball and encouraging them to participate fully in the game? Find out more at https://www.titansfc.com.au/ or email: mpio@titansfc.com.au

Today, we mourn the passing of Ted, who was a core part of the Sylvanvale community for almost 15 years through the incredible work he did as a volunteer at Caringbah Craft Centre.

From the moment he started at Garden House with Sylvanbeats, two things were always true of Ted. The first was the love and support he showed for his brother, Greg, who still participates at Caringbah Craft Centre. The second was that, no matter what, Ted extended that same love and support to everyone around him.

Ted was a volunteer, but he was also so much more. He was a steady presence and a true friend. His absence will be deeply felt, but his legacy lives on in the community he helped build and in the many lives he touched.

Yesterday, our little learners at Mikarie celebrated Lunar New Year!

They were encouraged to wear red, which is a colour symbolising good fortune, prosperity, and joy in Chinese culture.

Throughout the day, the children enjoyed festive arts and crafts filled with bright reds, and even got to experience a lively dragon parade in the courtyard.

🪵 Did you know?

The timber products we sell at Craft Centre are built with the help of incredible volunteers, with the people we support lending a hand.

Tony, Mark and Andrew generously donate their time and skills to work with the CCC crew, helping create the toys and wooden products we all know and love. Coming from diverse backgrounds like teaching and real estate valuation, they share one powerful thing in common: a passion for woodworking and a genuine desire to give back.

Thank you, Tony, Mark, and Andrew, for everything you do for us!
