Book Stall
Bring your old books along to add to the book swap. We will have a selection of LBGTQ+ inclusive kids books thanks to Glee Books, as well as books donated by the community. All community donated books will be $3 so make sure the kids pack their pocket money!
Cake Stall
We will be providing lunch for everyone, but we need your help to stock up the cake stall. We'd love you to bring along a cake, slice, or batch of biscuits to share with the community.
This is an initiative of Strong Safe Fabulous - a project to support the prevention of domestic & family violence, and child abuse in LGBTIQA+ families. We believe that all families have a right to live a life free from violence and that the whole community can take action to change the attitudes and social norms that lead to violence.
Please RSVP so that we can expect you.
