Help and Hope Week
Next one in September ‘25
Help & Hope Week was an incredible success, making a real impact across our community.
Throughout the week, individuals, families, and community organisations received 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 brought encouragement and dignity to those facing challenging circumstances.
The connections formed and the difference made have left a lasting mark on our community. Help & Hope Week demonstrated what’s possible when compassion meets action.
Stay tuned as we look ahead to future opportunities to continue bringing Help & Hope where it’s needed most.

“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.”
