A little yellow and a lot of connection for R U OK? Day! 🌻

Crosslinks came together to connect, have fun and learn a little more about each other.

Through games, activities, conversations and lots of laughs, the afternoon was about building relationships and creating opportunities to check in with the people around us.⭐

Sometimes the simplest moments – sharing a laugh, starting a conversation or simply listening, can help us feel more connected. 💛

Check in with those around you and ask 'R U OK?" any day.

Sometimes the best friendships start when you least expect them! 🫧💛

Michelle and Alyssa were enjoying their Community Inclusion outings at Whiteman Park when a little bit of rain brought everyone together.

While waiting for the rain to pass, Michelle and Alyssa spent some time getting to know each other with some good tunes and plenty of bubbles to add to the fun!

A rainy afternoon turned into a lovely chance to connect, share some laughs and enjoy each other’s company - because Crosslinks is all about making every day count! 🌧️🎶

Practice Makes… Pretty Good Fun!

The crew took over a court at Swan Active for a basketball session packed with practice, persistence and plenty of shots at glory! 😄

They spent some time working on their basketball skills before wrapping things up with other games and a bit of friendly competition, but behind all the laughs was something even better: the chance to build skills, grow confidence, stay active and enjoy time together in the community.

No need for a championship trophy here — having a go and enjoying the experience is already a win in our books. 🏀🙌

Everyone deserves to feel safe being exactly who they are! 💜🌈

For Wear It Purple Day, we came together to show our support for LGBTQIA+ young people and celebrate belonging, acceptance and inclusion.

We shared resources and explored the everyday actions we can take as allies to help people feel safe, respected, valued and supported. ⭐

A meaningful morning and an important reminder that everyone deserves to belong.

Dinner dilemma? Snack attack? Drew and Ellen have you covered! 🍴🧑‍🍳

These two have been busy in the kitchen making beef and garlic sausage rolls — golden, flaky parcels of deliciousness that definitely deserve a spot on the “make these again” list. 😋

Because cooking together isn’t only about creating something tasty. It’s about having a go, learning new skills, making choices, sharing a few laughs and enjoying that brilliant feeling of saying, "We made this!”

That’s what our Crosslinks recipe collection celebrates: real dishes our participants have enjoyed making and eating, with plenty of fun along the way. It reflects the joy, possibility and meaningful everyday experiences we love to champion at Crosslinks.

So, whether you need dinner inspiration or an excuse to fire up the oven, give Drew and Ellen’s recipe a go!

Community Crew Throwback!

Our participants had a fantastic time attending the Brabham NAIDOC Celebration, proudly led by Karlup Aboriginal Corporation and Indigo Junction.

Throughout the day, they immersed themselves in the celebrations, trying their hand at playing the didgeridoo, experiencing the Smoking Ceremony, enjoying the cultural performances, exploring community stalls and learning more about Aboriginal culture through bush tucker experiences.

It was a meaningful day of learning, connection and celebration, giving everyone the opportunity to experience and appreciate the rich cultures, traditions and stories of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. 💙
