🌏💙 WHAT A WONDERFUL MULTICULTURAL HEALTH WEEK 2026! 🎉🌺

A celebration of movement, music and cultural connection at St Marys Community Centre on Wednesday 21 October 2026! ❤️

👏 A HUGE thank you to the people of Penrith who joined this joyful community event, organised by the Penrith Multicultural Interagency, to promote wellbeing through cultural diversity!

✨ Some special highlights:

🌺 Tokelau Atafu cultural dancers filled the room with joy!

💪 Rebecca from Greater West Exercise Physiology got all generations moving together!

💬 We listened to heartfelt stories of lived experience, shared moments of understanding and celebrated the power of community.

🎶 Lisa's wonderful singing lesson lifted our spirits and brought the day to a perfect close!

🎨💃 From art making to singing, dancing and exercise, everyone was encouraged to join in and care for their wellbeing.

❤️ Wellbeing is about belonging, feeling safe and making connections with one another!

🙏 A heartfelt thank you to our community members, performers and the Penrith Multicultural Interagency working group for making the day such a success!

📸 Take a look at these wonderful moments! 👇

💜 CARING FOR OUR CARERS for NATIONAL CARERS WEEK 2026 💜

🌸 What a wonderful day at the Carers Pamper Day at Colyton Community Centre yesterday!

We connected with other carers, enjoyed some well-deserved pampering and recognised the extraordinary contribution that carers make every day.

💜 With more than 20,000 carers across the Penrith LGA, it's important to recognise the often unseen work, compassion and love involved in caring for our family members.

🎨 A special highlight was the We Care Project, a beautifully embroidered wall hanging which expresses what it means to give and receive care (see group photo)

👏 Thank you to Community Junction for hosting the day, and to Carer Gateway Wellways and everyone involved in bringing the We Care Project to life.

🤝 It was also a pleasure to welcome Penrith Mayor Todd Carney and see him connecting with Fa'aalu at the community stall (see seated photo)

📸 The photos by Krystyna Pollard captured the spirit of the day — connection, appreciation and community support.

🌷 To every carer in our community: your dedication matters, your contribution is valued, and you deserve care too!

💜 Thank you to everyone who made today special.

What a great day of learning! On 18 September 2026, more than 15 busy mums came together at St Marys Community Centre, St Marys Corner to learn valuable basic first aid skills. 👩‍👧‍👦⛑️

👏 A big thank you to Sandeep from Lead College, who delivered the training with skill and care, supporting local mums build their confidence to respond in an emergency.
