Spark Session Success: Anti-Poverty Community BBQ coming up!
We're excited to share that our community is organising an "Anti-Poverty Community BBQ" on Sunday, November 16, 2025! In our recent Spark Session (Friday September 12), we came together to shape what this community event will look like.
What We're Creating Together:
- Our Vision: A welcoming, regular community BBQ that provides good food, creates connections, and supports our neighbours with immediate food and material needs without any barriers or need to prove eligibility.
- What We'll Offer: Delicious meals, a friendly welcome area, activities for kids, and potentially additional resources like hampers, clothing, haircuts, cooking demonstrations, and seasonal gifts.
- Our Values: Creating a space that's anti-racist, feminist, and inclusive of all marginalised groups. Somewhere that feels "like a hug" to everyone who attends.
- Where and When: Sunday lunchtimes, regularity to be determined. Starting November 16. We're having our first detailed planning meeting on Friday, September 26.
- How It Will Work: The event will be free for everyone, supported through donations and sponsorships. We'll adapt as we go based on community needs and our collective capacity.
Get Involved:
Want to help make this community BBQ happen? Join us for our planning meeting on September 26, 2025. Everyone is welcome to contribute ideas, time, or resources - whatever works for you! This is a community-driven project where everyone's input matters.
We've already made great progress in defining our vision and setting our first date. Now we need more people on board to help to bring it to life!
