Services Australia, E-Bike Repair and Golf Fundraiser

19 - 21 November 2025

This week at Fletcher Street Cottage we’ve been connecting services, celebrating partnerships and saying a few heartfelt goodbyes. Here’s what’s been happening.

Highlights

• On Tuesday morning, we met with Suzy, who will be offering yoga therapy at Fletcher Street Cottage in the new year for women attending Women’s Space. This partnership will provide calm, movement and healing in a safe, supportive environment.
• We successfully supported a man into transitional accommodation, meaning he is now safely housed and will be case-managed into longer-term accommodation.
• On Wednesday afternoon, Maddi and Damian attended the Lennox Head Lions Club sponsor event to share updates on Women’s Space and express gratitude for their generous $5,000 donation supporting women in crisis. Our friends from The Buttery also joined the event, highlighting the strong community partnerships that make this work possible.
• On Wednesday, we hosted an E-Bike Workshop run by Byron Community College, giving our service users the chance to learn practical bike safety and maintenance skills. A big thank you to Byron Community College for providing accessible training opportunities.
• On Thursday, we met with Services Australia to discuss improving support for people accessing Fletcher Street Cottage. Partnerships like this are key to ensuring seamless, effective assistance for those most in need.
• On Friday, we said a fond farewell to Laura, our Social Work student, who has been with us for the past four months. Laura has made an incredible contribution to the team, and we wish her every success in her future career.
