Help and Hope Week
Next one in 2027!
Help & Hope Week is an incredible initiative that we began in 2024, 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.
On the 2nd - 9th May we completed over 40 community projects! If you would like to be part of the next one, feel free to donate on our donation page or enquire for more info.
We can't wait to serve our Community with you!

“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.”
