Help and Hope Week
29 Sept - 4 Oct ‘25
Help & Hope Week is an incredible initiative, where we have the opportunity to make a real impact across our community.
Throughout the week, individuals, families, and community organisations receive meaningful support through a range of initiatives—from vibrant garden makeovers and food hampers to hot barista drinks, free haircuts, and activity packs for children entering emergency housing. These acts of care bring encouragement and dignity to those facing challenging circumstances.
We find that this practical help creates connections and leaves a lasting mark on our community. Help & Hope Week demonstrates what’s possible when compassion meets action.
Join us for our upcoming Help & Hope Week on the 29 Sep - 4 Oct where we will be completing over 30 community projects! Click the link below to see where you can play your part.
We can't wait to serve our Community with you!

WANT TO KNOW MORE? •
“I have been a part of LIFE Community and volunteering for a number of years now. It really is an honour to serve people, and our community. Being a part of something that may seem small in my world could actually have such a big impact on someone else's world. Setting aside a few hours of my time to pack Christmas boxes, engage with people at Community Kitchen, and seeing someone's backyard transformed while believing that there will be heart transformations - that's priceless, and that is WHY I volunteer.
The best part of volunteering is discovering my gifts and purpose while being on these teams I serve in. I give my YES with the hope that there will be breakthrough for someone else. I have also experienced breakthroughs in my own life because of my YES.”
