Big Table Community Lunch

Neighbourhood House Block Party We were delighted to take part in the Ulverstone Neighbourhood House Block Party on Wednesday 19 October. Almost 100 people attended, including some of our residents along with Ulverstone and West Ulverstone community members. A very big thank you to Neighbourhood House staff and volunteer community helpers for making this happen! Andrew from the Neighbourhood House said, “I would like to thank everyone involved with the Block Party for Anti-Poverty Awareness. From the chefs in the kitchen through to the face painter, and childcare minders which gave the parents a chance to shop at the pop-up op shop. Your help and support for the community is amazing and highly valued.”

Family BBQ And to conclude our Anti-Poverty Week events we held a Free Family BBQ at the Wedge Street Community House in Smithton on Thursday 20 October. Thanks to everyone who came along! Hannah helped to serve a free breakfast to the local community, along with staff from Anglicare, Safe Spaces Burnie and the Salvos. St Vincent's Anti-Poverty Week Breakfast We also took part in St Vincent’s Anti-Poverty Week Breakfast on 19 October in Burnie. Our Community Development Officer

On a beautiful sunny day after almost a week of flooding, 90 community members joined us for the Big Table Community Lunch at East Devonport Community House on Wednesday 19 October. In recognition of Anti-Poverty Week, this year’s theme was ‘join our call to halve child poverty by 2030’. Guests were welcome to take their lunches away, but due to the beautiful weather, most people stayed and ate together. Residents were also given a bag filled with assorted goods including biscuits, pancake mix, and canned soups. Big thanks to the East Devonport Neighbourhood House and

their dedicated team of volunteers for organising such a great day.
