24.01.2022 R U Ok Day is today R U ok? And so important to ask more than ever right now , so reach out to your family and friends and check they are ok. ... Especially at the moment- not many people are really ok. People are struggling. People are afraid of the unknown ahead. What change is coming? Will things ever be the same again?

16.01.2022 Welcome to Spoonville ! If Uniting Place is within your 5km exercise zone then you may like to visit Spoonville. We'd love more Spoonvillers to join us, so kids see what spoons (no plastic please) you have that would like to throw on their outfits (made by you of course!) and take resident here to make families daily exercise a little more interesting. You'll find Spoonville as you walk the path along Coral Drive.
