We were honoured to recently speak at Inner Wheel and share about the work of Follow Bless Collective. It was a wonderful opportunity to talk about the challenges facing women and children in our community and the practical ways we can all make a difference.

We were able to share about DV Safe Phones whom we are a partner of, which provides refurbished mobile phones to people leaving domestic and family violence situations. Access to a safe and reliable phone can be a lifeline, helping individuals stay connected to support services, family, employment opportunities, and emergency assistance as they rebuild their lives.

We were also excited to hear that Inner Wheel is currently collecting mobile phones to support the DV Safe Phones program, helping ensure more women leaving violence have access to this vital resource when they need it most.

We are incredibly grateful for Inner Wheel's generous donation, which will help us continue supporting women and children in our community who are doing it tough. Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and commitment to creating safer, stronger futures for those who need support most. 💜✨

When Lexi Hili started thinking about what to do for her Year 7 Think project - she didn't think small! Lexi thought about the community around her and what was needed to make an impact and had the aim to collect 100 coats to warm the community this winter.

Even though she was told it was ambitious she didn't stop there but worked hard through her project collecting 500!!! Winter coats to keep vulnerable members of the community warm.

Lexi has blessed Off your Back charity and Big Group Hug charities already finishing off with Follow Bless Collective this afternoon.

We will be taking these coats to our Tuesday Night at the Park takeaway service opposite Pakenham Train Station tomorrow night to gift those in need.

What a great effort by Lexi! Thank you for your hard work and thoughtfulness!
