A Stitch in Time

February 3, 2025

At the heart of our community is Carol, a dedicated volunteer whose passion for sustainability and helping others led to the creation of A Stitch in Time—a free mending program run through Addi Road. With a simple yet impactful mission, Carol provides anyone in the community with the opportunity to bring in clothing that needs minor alterations, mending, or patching, giving well-loved garments a second life instead of letting them end up in landfill.

Food on the table restores pride, provides a breathing space for families and individuals alike to keep going while under pressure. It’s a matter integral to self-respect, offering a breathing space as incomes are sucked into rising rents and cost-of-living pressures that negate people’s ability to feed themselves. Mental health, relationships, emotional stamina, children’s levels of anxiety, the room to innovate in some small way and climb out of your difficulties is shot to pieces if you can’t afford enough food to get by each day.

All for One and One for All

December 9, 2021

Morning tea for all our volunteers. Of course, it is pelting down raining again. So, the annual event is held under cover, appropriately enough inside our Gumbramorra Hall, better-known these days for having been converted into the Addi Road Food Relief Hub. The volunteers know this place inside out.
