Morning Teas & Plenty of Sweets for a Special Cause

Raising Money for the Cancer Council

Throughout May we’ve been celebrating Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea and proudly raising money for the Cancer Council.

On the 17th of May the lovely ladies from Tuesday Club held a special morning tea, playing games and fundraising and recently staff and tenants from The Place came together for some amazing sweet treats while adding to the fundraising efforts.

You may have also seen, or participated in our lolly jar competition at reception. Guessing the number of lollies in the jar gathered competitive interest with a wide range of guesses made. The winning number was 422 and we are happy to announce that Liz Callen is our lucky winner! A big congratulations to Liz who will be taking home the jar with all 422 lollies inside - enjoy! 


Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea is a community event that we love to celebrate as it’s about raising vital funds for life changing cancer research, support programs and prevention. We are thrilled to announce that with the help of our community we have raised $320.00 for the Cancer Council. A big thank you for your generosity, your donations have made a positive impact and truly can make a difference in the lives of people living with cancer.

This Neighbourhood Centre Week, we pay homage to the remarkable strength that emerges when diverse individuals come together for a shared purpose. Helen Keller's timeless words, "Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much," resonate deeply as we reflect on the power of unity and community. In communities across Australia, Neighbourhood and Community Houses and Centres (NCHCs) stand as the beating heart of local neighbourhoods. At these centres like ours, we strive to embody the essence of togetherness, bringing people from all walks of life together to connect, learn, and play. Through collaborative initiatives, inclusive programs, and shared spaces, we cultivate an environment where every voice is heard, every story is valued, and every member contributes to the vibrant mosaic of our shared community. To celebrate the value of our local community, join us for a warm cuppa and lively conversations at The Place on 14th May, from 10 am – 12 pm. Whether you're a longtime resident or new to the area, there's a place for you here! Discover the variety of programs and activities at The Place tailored to enrich every aspect of your life, from health and wellness initiatives to educational workshops and social gatherings. Come and experience The Place where people meet, connect, belong, and grow. Neighbourhood Centre Week is a time to celebrate the bonds that unite us and the spaces that nurture them. So, come on over, grab a cuppa, and let's build a stronger, more connected community together! Free light morning tea will be provided. To book your spot, please call us on 02 4032 5500, or email us at programsassistant@theplacecharlestown.org.au
