25.01.2022 Yep! This is happening around Wagga! Crazy good!

23.01.2022 Walked out my front door today and found this: a bag full of new socks and underpants! How good are people? #wagga #awesomeneighbours #gatheredwagga #kindness #socksandundies #micahhouse

23.01.2022 It was so wonderful to receive a letter of thanks from Jodie at Micah House about our donation of socks and underwear (just a snippet in the photo below). We really are making a difference!! Thanks again to all who donated in our first collection and please stay tuned for our next collection happening during Term 1 next year!

23.01.2022 Ooooh! Exciting times ahead.

22.01.2022 Yeah this is happening in 2017! Watch out Tumut, Temora and Gundagai - Gathered is coming your way in the new year!

20.01.2022 Well, it’s a long time since anything went up here, largely because just about the same time as I kicked off Gathered Wagga, I also accepted a brand new job in Sydney. And A LOT has happened in the last two and a half years but one thing that remains unchanged is my interest in building community around a philosophy of meliorism. This whole time I have been churning things over about how Gathered [insert your town name here] can continue. So watch this space, hang in there ...and hopefully we can revive and rejuvenate the Gathered movement! Di Somerville Simone Eyles

19.01.2022 Well as is so often the case, our best laid plans and intentions get thrown into turmoil when some crazy twist or turn presents itself in life. And that's just what has happened to me regarding Gathered. I have been offered an awesome opportunity to take up a new position in a fantastic new school. The only problem in regards to Gathered is that this new school is in Sydney. But that doesn't mean the end of Gathered!! We are going to conduct four collections in 2017 - one pe...r school term. With the help of some wonderful people who love the Wagga community as much as I do, we will endeavour to keep this social media social enterprise afloat. Watch this space early in the new year for details of our Term 1 2017 collection. Thanks for your amazing support for the socks and underpants collection for Micah House and I will look forward to achieving more great things with you all in 2017!

19.01.2022 You can handle whatever this week throws at you! #gathered #wagga #MicahHouse #socksandundies #kindness

18.01.2022 The 2016 United Nations International Day of Older Persons (UNIDOP) will take a stand against ageism by drawing attention to and challenging negative stereotypes and misconceptions about older persons and ageing. http://www.un.org/en/events/olderpersonsday/

17.01.2022 A Monday Funday to get your week started!

17.01.2022 Have a look at what is happening at Rock Solid Gear!

16.01.2022 We have six amazing businesses who are our collection points for this current Gathered project - socks and undies for men at Micah House. Be sure to give them your support. Thanks for caring!

15.01.2022 Wow! More than 200 likers on Facebook. Thanks for the support. Be sure to head on over to Twitter and Insta (if you use those platforms) and search for Gathered Wagga there too!

14.01.2022 So an amazing thing just happened... I was grabbing a few items in the supermarket when the lovely Penny came up to say hello. She asked how things were going with the socks and underpants collection (she had read about it in the paper) and then said she wanted to contribute, so around we went to the socks and undies section, where she picked out some undies, put them in my basket and then reached into her wallet and gave me the money for them. We stood and chatted for a while and the next thing, a friend of hers walked by and she made him do the same! People are amazing and kind and generous. Wagga is awesome! Thanks to all those secret superheroes out there supporting this venture and making a difference to other people's lives.

11.01.2022 Off to deliver socks and underpants to Micah House - they weigh a ton!

04.01.2022 There's not nearly enough kindness in the world...

02.01.2022 Did you ever wonder what 13 singlets, 157 pairs of undies and 190 pairs of socks looks like? Well stop wondering! Wagga - YOU ARE AMAZING. Look at what we've done in just a few weeks.

01.01.2022 The August Drive for Share the Dignity is just a few days away. Throughout the month of August, you can donate sanitary items at drop off points all across Australia. These items will be distributed to charities that support women and girls and generally stay in your local area. So what are you waiting for?? Next time you’re out doing your groceries, pick up a box of tampons or a packet of pads and drop them to your local collection point. Check the Share the Dignity Facebook page for more details. Get behind this awesome charity.
