25.01.2022 Good morning! In light of the recent cluster, a friendly reminder to you all to keep practicing good hygiene. Use supplied sanitiser, social distance and if you aren't feeling well, please stay home and follow all recommendations from health SA. We love seeing all your faces however we need to take care of one another at the same time. Thank you for your support

23.01.2022 Free Tax Help is available at Gawler Community House from July to October. Call us on 85224601 to find out if you are eligible and make an appointment. Tax Help community volunteers are trained and accredited by the ATO and provide a free and confidential service to help people who have simple tax affairs and are on low incomes ($60,000 or less), complete their tax returns using myTax.

22.01.2022 Imagine being in a room with no lights. The door is locked. The window won’t open. You are screaming but no one can hear you because your screams are silent. The room is filling up with water and you cannot swim. There is a key in that room but you cannot find it. This is your only way out. This is your freedom. You can hear someone close by but you are too afraid to ask them to help you look for that key. Why?! Because you feel like you should be able to find it on your own.... Because you feel embarrassed and shame for asking them to help you. So you continue struggling in that locked room with the water levels increasing and you’re soon becoming exhausted. The other person asks you, can I help you find that key to get you out of here? Can I smash out the window so you can get to safety? Do you want to hold onto me for a minute to regain your strength? Do your absolute best to not say no. Say yes. They are reaching out to you because they care. They love you. Because your life matters. They don’t want to save you, they want you to live and find your purpose. Find your smile. Find your happiness outside of that room. Sometimes it’s the person who laughs the loudest, who appears to be the most social. Who is always cracking a joke to make others smile. It could be anyone around you that is suffering and please don’t allow them to do it alone. You may not have capacity to support them long term but find that key and give it to them. It’s the gift of life and that’s something we all deserve. #areuok Author: Paulie Barry See more

04.01.2022 Gawler community house was successful in obtaining a Placemaking grant. This enabled us with the help from the incredible Di from The Colour Manifesto to beatify the front of the house and how incredible does it look. We had a home school group and copious amounts of volunteers participating in this project allowing it to all come together so wonderfully. A HUGE shout out to all involved in such an awesome project. Community Centres SA Inc. Tony Piccolo MP GAWLER COMMUNITY NOTICEBOARD The Bunyip Newspaper
