A Cuppa with Purpose at Lake Wendouree: At the Ballarat Man Walk, coffee isn’t just a drink—it’s the spark that brings us together. It’s about more than the rich aroma or smooth taste; it’s about the conversations, the laughs, and the connections that happen over a simple cup. Whether you’re sipping a flat white, tea, or hot chocolate, having something warm in your hands makes the chats flow a little easier and the world feel a little smaller. Each week, we meet at The Yacht Club, Lake Wendouree Coffee to walk, talk, and share a brew. And here’s where you can make a difference: we’re looking for sponsors to help keep the coffee flowing for the awesome crew that shows up. If you’re a local business, club, or just someone who loves what we’re about, you can help by sponsoring a week, a month, or even the whole year. Your support helps us keep this community thriving and connected. Ready to lend a hand (or a coffee)? Send me an email at rossy799@hotmail.com or drop me a DM. Together, we can make coffee more than just a drink—it’s a way to build something meaningful. Cheers to connection, The Ballarat Man Walk Team #BallaratManWalk #LakeWendouree #CommunityConnection #MensMentalHealth #WalkTalkSupport #CoffeeWithPurpose #StrongerTogether #SupportLocal #ManWalkMovement

🏙️Tri-Cities Local Playbook: Because Life’s Too Short! Here’s the deal: small businesses are the backbone of any thriving community. And if you’re in the Tri-Cities, you’re sitting on a goldmine of local gems waiting to be discovered. Supporting them isn’t just feel-good—it’s an investment in your own backyard. So here’s my challenge: level up your local game. ✅ Have a dinner to remember at @perch.richland Perch Cantina—because great food and amazing atmosphere is non-negotiable. ✅ Test your palate with the seasonal flavor at @cafeconartetc Cafe Con Arte. Make it a monthly ritual. ✅ Expand your horizons (literally) at @cbcollege CBC’s Planetarium. Go for 3 shows, minimum. ✅ Hit the trail at @cityofrichland Howard Amon Park once a month and remind yourself why outdoor spaces are priceless. ✅ Recharge in style with a staycation at @lodgeatcolumbiapoint The Lodge at Columbia Point—because even hustlers need downtime. ✅ Join a community at @club_509_pickleball Club 509 Pickleball Club. It’s not just exercise; it’s training your skills! ✅ Pizza crawl: Taste-test every local spot. Find your #1 and tell everyone about it. We all talk about shopping small and supporting local—but the real question is: are you doing it? These businesses are here because someone took a chance on a dream. Let’s show up for them and make this community even stronger. So…what’s on your local to-do list? Drop it below.

As we get ready to ring in the New Year, let’s take a moment to celebrate the rich traditions that make Southern hospitality shine during this time of year! 🍲 Black-Eyed Peas & Collard Greens – In the South, New Year's Day isn’t complete without a plate of black-eyed peas (for luck) and collard greens (for prosperity). It's a comforting reminder that success and well-being are best shared around the table. 🍰 Hoppin’ John & Cornbread – This hearty dish is a staple, representing hope and wealth. And let’s be honest—there’s nothing like the warm, welcoming smell of cornbread fresh out of the oven! 🏠 Open-Door Celebrations – Southern homes are known for open-door policies, especially during the holidays. Neighbors and friends stop by for a quick bite, reinforcing the sense of community that defines Southern living. 🎶 Fireworks & Front Porch Gatherings – What’s more Southern than watching fireworks from a rocking chair on the front porch? It’s all about slowing down, reflecting, and sharing stories with loved ones. As we head into 2025, let’s carry forward the heart of Southern hospitality—welcoming others, sharing meals, and cherishing community. Here’s to a year filled with joy, success, and meaningful connections! #SouthernHospitality #NewYearsTraditions #CommunityAndCulture #HospitalityIndustry #NewYearVibes

Coming up this week! The event we've been working on for several months now - Campout 2024 It's on a permaculture farm just outside Abergavenny and it's a community gathering. Everyone is bringing their gifts to the campfire for four days of community, connection, compassion, co-creation and celebration. The future for me now is all about much smaller community-based events. We all build an event together. No one who attends is paid, not ‘performers’, event managers or crew. Nearly everyone there is a contributor in some sense. If a small surplus is made, it is invested back into the community. This model operates in a similar way to few friends hiring a large house or space for a week. We each bring ourselves and our gifts to the party on a voluntary basis - we all give to the event but we also each take a lot from the it - connection, conversation, compassion, inspiration, the joys of co-creating something that has the potential to change lives. The ticket money each person puts in is not a cop out clause, so that they can expect things to be done for them, it’s an investment in supporting and growing the amazing potential of a community gathering. It’s exactly how our Campout event has been evolving these past few years. Check our programme for this year, we’re about to do another one next week on a permaculture farm near Abergavenny. https://lnkd.in/eDgxJppt
