25.01.2022 Weve got a fresh new look and we want brand new ideas to go with it! Put it in your diaries and come talk all things community - from small businesses, to streetscapes and events with members from The Hub next week! Wed love to hear how we can make Mount Hawthorn an even better place for you to live, work and play

25.01.2022 The annual Carols in Braithwaite Park is back this Sunday! Pack your blanket & picnic basket, and come join us as we watch the Mt Hawthorn Primary School choir perform from 6:30 Don’t forget gold coins so you can get yourself a candle & carol booklet too. So what do you say Mt Hawthorn, will we see you there?

25.01.2022 Were searching for illustration inspiration! The Hub is currently working with Modular Studio to update our brand and were looking for examples of your childs art (can be paintings, drawings, crafts etc.) to take inspiration from. We want to see art of people, pets, places and things. If the art depicts Mount Hawthorn residents or locations, even better! If youre willing to get involved, please share a pic of your childs art in the comments below or send us a direct message! Please note, we wont be using any of your childs art directly - this call out is for inspiration purposes only unless we reach out to you individually to discuss that option

25.01.2022 Have you met Chiara? Shes the friendly face behind @_solisboutique_ After driving past the empty shop front on Green Street a handful of times, she knew what she had to do. Fuelled by a love of fashion and with 20 years of industry experience under her belt, she opened for business just over a year ago. Solis Boutique offers something different - there is a strong focus on local designers and a range of items to suit any age or budget. When we popped in to catch up with Chiara we couldnt resist picking up a few items for ourselves! Make sure you call in and say hello next time youre passing by.

24.01.2022 Support local by choosing one of our many neighbourhood cafés as the meeting place for your next breakfast date or coffee catch-up this silly season! Better yet? Buy a gift voucher (or bag of roasted coffee beans) for a loved one from: - Birraz Ristobar - Bites by D - Bodhi Tree Bookstore Cafe ... - Casa Bianchi (new owners) - Chinta Cafe - Dejaxo - Fields of Vincent - Humblebee Coffee - Lawleys Bakery Cafe - Leaf & Bean Cafe - Lupo Lab - Mokaffe - Sammy's - Spirals Cinnamon - Yelo Mt Hawthorn See more

24.01.2022 @_solisboutique_ loves local just as much as we do! Owner, Chiara carefully selects brands from WA and the East Coast, and has a soft spot for smaller start-ups that are looking to get their foot in the door. When you choose to shop small at local businesses like @_solisboutique_ you are also choosing to support the individuals and families behind the brands they stock, their wholesale agents, manufacturers and designers too. It really does have the best knock on effect!

24.01.2022 Shop small & support local this silly season! Whether you’re purchasing a new outfit for Christmas day or buying a gift voucher so a loved one can get themselves some new staples, here are some local boutiques to add to your hit-list: - Costume & Ballet Centre - The ILKA Family Store - Australian Red Cross... - Stella Rose - Solis Boutique - Torso Clothing - Tredways Shoes - Vinnies Australia Does your small business fit into this category? Comment below or send us a message so we can add you to the list!

20.01.2022 Weve seen a surplus of lemons throughout the streets of Mt Hawthorn and suspect that you might have run out of things to do with them. So why not save some for later? You can grate the zest into a container and keep in the freezer or freeze the juice in an ice cube tray. Perfect for use in a few months time when theyre no longer in season! Freezer full too? Share some with your neighbours or a local cafe! : @plasticfreejuly

19.01.2022 Have you had the joy of getting to know Laurie & the team at Health Central Occupation Therapy? From the moment you walk in & are greeted with a smile from the friendly front counter team, it’s evident they’re a big family here - and you’re about to become part of it! This is a team of people who are truly passionate about what they do, and passionate about the community. But what do they do? And is it relevant to you? Yes! Whilst they specialise in looking after elite at...hletes, their experience in Western, European & Eastern medical models equips them with a wealth of knowledge, so if one approach isn’t solving your problems, then another surely will. They offer soft tissue occupational therapy, dry needling, wellness seminars and ergonomic assessments for workplaces. There’s a common misconception that they’re just here to fix sporting injuries, but they can assist with so much more, from headaches & migraines to back pain, tight muscles, fatigue, sciatic pain, arthritis & fibromyalgia... so next time you’re passing Oxford Street, pop in and say hi!

Rather than rescuing children from their mistakes, they help them understand and manage their emotions, focus on positive solutions, and develop strategies to... bounce forward when they face a challenge - AKA developing the art of resilience!
