With more people feeling the pressure of rising costs and food insecurity, the Common Ground team has been looking at simple, practical ways we can offer extra support to our residents. To kick off the new year, we started a weekly Breakfast Club! A relaxed space where residents can enjoy a free, hot meal and connect with others in the community. It’s been a great way to bring people together while also helping ease some of the stress around food costs. Breakfast Club

What better is there to do on a nice day than have a picnic? A group of our Common Ground residents did just that in January with Connections Support Worker, Jessica. Each month, Her Excellency the Honourable Frances Adamson AC invites members of the public to enjoy a relaxing afternoon in the beautiful gardens of Government House. Residents were treated to a lovely picnic lunch while enjoying music from a live community band in a relaxing atmosphere. This event is open to the public and is held on the first Friday of each month . We encourage residents to take family or friends, spread out a rug or set up a camping chair and enjoy the surroundings. Lunch on Government Lawns
Every Wednesday , we cook up a tasty
breakfast using rescued food from OzHarvest, along with any other donated goodies we receive.
It’s been wonderful to see so many residents come along, share a meal, and start their day with a warm plate of food and friendly conversation.
