We’re hitting the pavement for City2Surf 🏃‍♀️🏃🏾‍♂️ which means we’ve got less than 20 weeks to figure out where the kids get their limitless energy from… and if we can borrow some 🫠

Event registration opens today at 12pm AEST, and YOU are invited to support The Girls & Boys Brigade as we run, walk, and make every km count for young people who deserve every opportunity to thrive.

When you sign up, you can search for “The Girls & Boys Brigade” as your charity, or join our team “GBB” to rep us on the day! If 14 km (and a date with Heartbreak Hill) isn’t your thing, we get it. You can still back us by cheering us on or donating to our team fundraising page 🙌

All paces welcome! Please feel free to share your fav graphic to let everyone know how cool you are for caring 💜

Still buzzing from trivia night…

Together, we raised $72,935.82 for families in need — powered by your generosity, big-hearted bidding in our auctions, and a raffle that got plenty of love! It was such a fun night made even more special by this incredible community.

A huge thank you to everyone who came along, brought friends, sponsored prizes, and got involved—and a special thank you to Liz for sharing her story so bravely. A powerful reminder of why this all matters 💛 Not even our emotional support capybaras could help us hold it together during her beautiful speech!

Near, far, wherever you are – we hope you’ll join us again next year for another fantastic event (and perhaps an even more questionable recorder performance by Jackie Daniels – we love you!).

Final prep mode: activated ✅
Stress levels: held together by excel spreadsheets and emotional support capybaras 🐾

Our annual trivia night is TOMORROW (!!) and the GBB fundraising team is busy making lists and checking them twice, making sure everything is set for our guests.

Behind the chaos, we’re so excited and incredibly motivated to raise as much money as we can, because every dollar raised makes a big difference to the kids and families at the GBB. That’s what keeps us going (well, that and the capybaras) 😜

See you tomorrow for a night of laughs, questions we DEFINITELY know the answers to, and a whole lot of heart 🕺💃

We loved celebrating the incredible mums and women carers in our Girls & Boys Brigade community this International Women’s Day. 💜

A huge thank you to AltX for sponsoring the event, providing a lovely morning tea along with thoughtful gifts and pampering experiences for the women in our community. And a very special thanks to Jill and Nat from AltX for joining us for the day!

Guests enjoyed nails and face masks from Carli at Carli’s Beauty, beautiful natural products from Seven Islands Skincare, candles and handmade clothing from Anne Marshall at ChildFund, and 10 wash and blow-dry vouchers from A H Salon.

It was a wonderful morning of appreciation, connection and celebrating the amazing women who support and care for our young people 🌸

✔️ Tickets? Live online and selling fast (link in bio).

Only 5 weeks to go.

We believe in safe spaces for big adventures! 🤸‍♀️

Our kids had the chance to explore a unique art playground, learning that taking risks is part of building strength and independence. 🏋‍♀

Thank you to our friends at Art Gallery of New South Wales for welcoming us into this incredible exhibit. 👩‍🎨

We are so grateful to Share the Dignity for including us in their latest campaign.

👜 We are floored by the dozens of incredible people who filled up a bag with hygiene and care essentials for vulnerable women and their babies.

This is dignity in action. Together we can make sure every woman feels seen and supported. 🤱

A bike is more than two wheels—it’s freedom, confidence, and safety.

That’s why we don’t just hand out bicycles. We make sure every rider has the right gear, knows how to lock up, prevent theft, and feels ready to ride the inner city like a pro. 🚲✨

Huge thanks to our amazing partners at Revolve ReCYCLING for donating half of the bikes that keep our community rolling forward! 💚
