Happy Fundraising Friday 🧡💙

We’re reaching out for a little extra support for our Sharing Shelves — a space where families can access everyday essentials when they need them most.

We’ve created an Amazon Wish List filled with much-needed items, and every single donation goes directly to supporting local parents and families in our community.
From toiletries to baby essentials and household basics, your kindness can make a real difference 💫

If you’re able to give, please take a look at our wish list and consider sending an item — big or small, it all helps.

Thank you for helping us keep our shelves stocked and our community supported 🧡💙

This Volunteer Week, we’re celebrating the incredible people who give their time, energy, and heart to support our work.💙🧡

Volunteers are a huge part of our community and the reason we’re able to reach more people and make a real difference. Every hour they give, every smile they share, and every act of kindness helps create positive change where it’s needed most.

In a world where everyone is busy, choosing to volunteer is something truly special. It’s a reminder that compassion, connection, and community still matter, and that even small acts can have a lasting impact.

The true impact of volunteering isn’t always something you can count. It’s found in the lives impacted, the confidence built, and the hope shared. Our volunteers bring warmth, passion, and positivity that inspire us every single day.

To all of our amazing volunteers: thank you. Thank you for showing up, for caring, and for making such a meaningful difference.
We appreciate you not just during Volunteer Week, but every day of the year. 💙🧡

✨Fundraising Friday – Teddy Toddle 2026 ✨

This Saturday, we are excited to have 25 families taking part in our sponsored teddy toddle!

Our Teddy Toddle is a wonderful opportunity for families to come together and toddle for a cause, while helping raise vital funds to support the work we do with children and families across our community.

Every step taken during the toddle helps us continue providing safe, welcoming, and supportive spaces where families can access guidance, friendship, play opportunities, and early years support. From sensory play and parent groups to family activities and wellbeing support, your fundraising makes a real difference to local families every day.

We can’t wait to see lots of little feet, favourite teddies, and smiling faces joining us this weekend for a special day of fun, community spirit, and fundraising ✨

Thank you to everyone who continues to support Dr Bell’s Family Centre — your kindness and generosity help us continue to grow, connect, and thrive together 💙🧡
