National Recycling Week 2025

This week we’re celebrating the power of recycling and the positive impact it has on both people and the planet.

At our Recyclers Op Shop in Tweed Heads and Salvage Shed in Ballina, every donated item helps reduce waste while providing hands-on opportunities for our ADE team to learn, grow and work with purpose.

From sorting and repairing to serving customers and keeping usable items out of landfill, our staff play an important role in creating a more sustainable community.

Support local, shop pre-loved and be part of something good.

Shop. Donate. Reuse. Empower.

💚 World Mental Health Day & World Homelessness Day | 10 October

Today we recognise two important awareness days that are deeply connected — World Mental Health Day and World Homelessness Day.

At Momentum Collective, we see every day how mental health and housing go hand in hand. A safe, stable home is the foundation for wellbeing, recovery and hope, yet for many people experiencing homelessness, mental health challenges make that journey even harder.

That’s why our teams across the Northern Rivers and beyond provide wraparound support, from mental health programs and assertive outreach, to supported accommodation and homelessness services, helping people rebuild confidence, connection and independence.

Today, let’s remember: everyone deserves a safe place to call home and the support to thrive.
