Kindness Cupboard Winter Appeal

Can you help?

Winter is here and many individuals and families in our community are doing it tough. Rising living costs and increased financial pressure mean that more people are turning to community services for a helping hand.


Our Kindness Cupboard exists to support those in need while creating an opportunity for everyone to give back. Built on the simple principle of 'take what you need and leave what you can' the Kindness Cupboard helps provide essential food and hygiene items to people experiencing hardship.


We're calling on our community to support our Winter Appeal by donating non-perishable food and hygiene essentials. A few extra items added to your trolley during your weekly grocery shop could help someone enjoy a warm meal, a hot cup of tea, or simply get through a difficult week.


Items we urgently need include:

  • Ring-pull cans of soup, meals and meats (baked beans, tuna, spaghetti, etc.)
  • Microwave rice and pasta
  • 2-minute noodles
  • Tea and coffee
  • Long-life milk
  • Cereal and snacks
  • Hygiene essentials


Every donation, no matter how small, can make a meaningful difference. Together, we can ensure our neighbours have access to the basics they need and remind them that they are supported by a caring community.


Let's spread kindness and warmth this winter. Please donate what you can, and help make a difference for local individuals and families when they need it most.

What makes a great venue? According to our 5-star reviews, it's more than just quality facilities and a convenient location. It's the experience, the support, and the confidence that your event is in good hands. At The Place, we provide professional, flexible spaces for meetings, workshops, training sessions, community events and corporate functions. Our team works closely with organisers to ensure every event runs smoothly from start to finish. What makes us different is that every booking creates impact beyond the room itself. As a Social Enterprise, venue hire at The Place helps fund local community programs that reduce social isolation, build skills, strengthen connections and create opportunities for people across our region. So when you're planning your next meeting, workshop, training day or event, consider a venue that delivers value for you or your organisation while supporting meaningful outcomes in the community.
