FREE community event- Wellness activities in Woopi on Sunday 27th of September. 💚

🌊 WELLNESS BY THE WAVES IS BACK! 🌊
Save the date — Sunday 27 September.

Last year, we welcomed around 100 attendances across our two Wellness by the Waves sessions, with the community rolling out their mats by the beach for Yoga and Pilates with us.

This year, we’re doing it all again… and adding something new! 💃

As part of Curryfest’s 20th anniversary celebrations, Woopi Pilates & Yoga will be bringing you a FREE morning of movement and community at Woolgoolga Beach Reserve:

🧘 7:30am – Yoga with Lotta
A gentle Hatha flow to move, breathe and find a little calm by the ocean.

🤸 8:45am – Pilates with Mary-Ann
An accessible Mat Pilates session to wake up your core, loosen up and get moving.

💃 10:00am – Jerusalema with Annie
And here’s the new bit! We’re bringing Woolgoolga together for a joyful Jerusalema community dance. No dance experience required — just come ready to move and have some fun!

And it’s all FREE! Thanks to the Woolgoolga Chamber of Commerce.

Registration links will be available soon, but for now hold the morning, tell your friends and start assembling your crew.

There’s plenty more to come over the next few weeks — including Annie teaching us those Jerusalema steps. 👀

📍 Woolgoolga Beach Reserve
📅 Sunday 27 September 2026

20 years of Curryfest. Three ways to move. One big morning by the waves. 🌊

Upcoming autism webinar. 🌻

What happens when you’re trying to support your Autistic child, while also managing your own sensory needs, energy and capacity?

Autistic parents can be holding a lot at once.

In our upcoming webinar, Autistic Parents Raising Autistic Children, Karise McNamee - Paths with Purpose will join us to talk about managing shame, guilt and burnout, as well as ways to support your family without losing yourself.

Together, we’ll explore:
🔸 What low-capacity parenting can look like
🔸 Ways to stay connected as a family when you have less to give
🔸 Simple scripts and boundaries you can use at home
🔸 The strengths that can come from being an Autistic parent raising an Autistic child

📅 Thursday 3 September, 8pm (NSW Time)
💻 Online and free

The Australian Government is asking people with disability, families, carers and kin to have their say on the new Inclusive Communities Fund.

The Fund aims to help community organisations become more inclusive and accessible, so people with disability have more opportunities to take part in community life.

We’ve put together a summary of the consultation to explain what it is about, what the Government is asking and how you can have your say.
📖 Read it here: https://bit.ly/BF-InclusiveCommunitiesFund

There are three ways you can have your say:

1️⃣ Respond directly to the Government through its consultation process:
https://consultations.health.gov.au/disability-and-carers-group/inclusive-communities-fund/

2️⃣ Use our guided response template to help you prepare your own submission:
https://bit.ly/BF-InclusiveCommunitiesFundTemplate

3️⃣ Contribute to Belongside's submission to Government by sharing your feedback in this short form:
https://bit.ly/BF-InclusiveCommunitiesFundSurvey

You don’t need to be an expert or write a long response. Your experiences of what helps your child and family take part in community life, and what gets in the way, are what's most important.

Consultation closes 31 August 2026.

Reminder to take a small moment for yourself today! 💚

How often do you check in on everyone else before checking in on yourself?

We make sure our children are okay.

Our partners.
Our friends.
Our colleagues.

But when was the last time you paused and asked yourself.

"How am I really doing?"

Self-care isn't selfish.

It's not something we earn after we've looked after everyone else.

It's an important part of protecting our own wellbeing, so we have the capacity to keep showing up for the people we love.

This week, I'd love to encourage you to do one small thing that's just for you.

It doesn't have to be big.

A walk.
A coffee in the sunshine.
Five minutes of quiet.
A conscious breath.

Sometimes, the smallest acts of kindness towards ourselves make the biggest difference.

✨ What's one small thing you'll do for yourself this week?
