InternationalWomen’sDay HealthandWellbeingFestival

Housing Choices Tasmania celebrated International Women’s Day in March with residents, volunteers and support organisations at a fantastic event in Latrobe. It was a huge success. Residents showcased over 30 market stalls from potted succulents to healthy cooking demonstrations, crafts and health and wellbeing stands. Our residents led the way in organising the day with support from Latrobe City Council, and we want to thank our resident group in Latrobe for all their hard work.

Community members were able to speak to a range of support organisations including the NILS Network, Carers Tasmania, YFCC, EACH, The Smith Family, East Devonport Community House, Men’s Resources Tasmania, Advocacy Tasmania, Volunteering Tasmania, the Tasmanian Health Service, My Pathway, Mission Australia, LINC, Red Cross and Housing Connect.

Bloomin’ Beautiful

In spring, we host gardening competitions right across the country. We’ve been delighted to visit so many beautiful gardens; nspiring creativity for all our residents. Whether it be community or shared areas, on balconies or in their own patios, back or front yards, it’s clear the passion, joy and pride gardens in all their various forms bring to those who tend to them and the whole community. A garden is often the thing that turns a house into a home.

Entries are judged by the Resident Advisory Committees, with winners receiving gardening vouchers, garden packs and a certificate of recognition.
