Celebrating 15 Years of The Place!
An Afternoon to Remember
On Friday the 1st of May we were proud and privileged to celebrate 15 Years of Belonging at The Place! We held a community event that brought people together to reflect on our journey, impact, and celebrate our amazing, diverse and vibrant community!
The afternoon was filled with fun, connection, and performances highlighting the diversity that makes our community so special. Our photo exhibition showcased some significant activities, programs and events, we celebrated our long-standing groups and the incredible individuals who have helped shape The Place and enjoyed performances from Connor Wink, Vrinda from Nartana School of Dance, Tantrum’s Accelerate Ensemble and Earthen Rhythms—finishing with a lively drum circle.
We’re very grateful for the opportunity to connect and celebrate alongside our community members, partners, and supporters and truly appreciate the attendance of special guests: Lake Macquarie Mayor Adam Shultz, The Hon. Jodie Harrison MP, Chairperson Helen Plummer and Board Members.
As we mark this milestone, we want to say a big thank you to all the people, groups and organisations who have supported and shaped The Place over the years, we couldn’t do what we do, without you.
