If materials are a barrier, please get in touch—we are able to help with paper and colouring pencils.

📅 Entries close 6 July

We can’t wait to see the amazing artwork our young people create!

💜 Today is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day.

This day reminds us of the importance of treating older people with dignity, respect, and care. Everyone deserves to feel safe, valued, and connected within their community.

Take a moment today to check in on an older friend, neighbour, or family member. A simple conversation can make a meaningful difference.

Together, we can help create a community where older people are respected, supported, and heard.
