And that’s a wrap!
And that’s a wrap for the 10/10 Project in 2022!
This year, our 10th 10/10 Project was held a bit later than usual due to weather delays. It also looked a bit different as we adapted to COVID-19 guidelines. Despite all challenges, a fantastic team of 45 volunteers worked together to transform several yards and gardens in our community. The positive outcomes achieved are the hallmark of the 10/10 Project!
Significant differences were made at each of the properties we attended, and residents’ pride has been restored in their yards and gardens that they can safely access again. Seeing the volunteers’ hard work and the special interactions between them and the community, made us feel incredibly proud of this initiative.
CRCS would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge and say a big THANK YOU to the contributions of:
Housing ACT

To celebrate Mother’s Day, Budawang Early Learning Centre in Milton hosted an afternoon tea for mums, carers and grandmothers. Children invited their families into the centre to take part in a range of activities. These included bracelet beading, gluing, drawing, nail painting, and pretend hairdressing. A playdough station invited children to create face moulds with the sign “Can you mould your mum?”, and a photo booth was set up to capture the occasion.
