☀️ Beautiful weather yesterday at our first ☕Coffee Connections event at a BHC Fortitude Valley property. It was great to bring this soft skills project, offering BHC residents with place-based skills building in customer service and hospitality, to another BHC property.

BE YOU! In celebration of #PrideMonth, we came together for a themed afternoon tea; embracing diversity and inclusion. Featuring delicious cupcakes & biscuits from local social enterprise the Baking Bunch, watching a thought-provoking video, & a mindfulness colouring-in activity.

This morning, the BHC and Elevate teams once again took part in @Challenge_DV’s #DarknesstoDaylight🚶3km walk. It may have been an early and chilly start to the morning, but that is nothing compared to what those facing domestic and family violence experience. 💜

BHC partnered with @micahprojects to deliver the second health and wellness clinic at our O’Brien Place property in Fortitude Valley. It was a great day promoting health and wellness, all while bringing community together! 💚

We were proud to be a finalist in the UDIA National Awards for Excellence in the Seniors Living category for Arbor Sherwood Retirement Village. Even though we did not win, we are still incredibly proud of this village and most importantly the residents who call Arbor home!

We congratulate our BHC Social Work Student, Tanieka, on finishing her placement in our Community Development team. Tanieka is now heading off to graduate with a Bachelor of Social Work!🙌🎉. Wishing you all the best and can't wait to see what you do in your career!💜

Today BHC was humbled to have respected Torres Strait Islander Elder, Uncle Bill, join staff to reflect on #NRW2022. Thank you Uncle Bill for talking about our shared histories, reflecting on Reconciliation and how we can all contribute to Reconciliation in Australia.
