The Federal Community Children’s Centre is hosting their popular Family Fun Day.

As a community-owned not-for-profit centre, this year’s event will raise funds to install solar panels on the roof of the centre, furthering the Centre’s sustainability initiatives.

Federal Community Children’s Centre Director, Mandala Dieh, says the centre is committed to operating as sustainably as possible. ‘Solar panels will not only help us do this, but will also reduce our operating costs as a not-for-profit centre.’

Families from across the Shire are invited to attend the free event, featuring a raffle, live music, food and cake stalls, and kids activities.

Local band The Imprints will be playing an ambient set for children and parents, while Indigenous group Bunyarabugalma Yoga will be running yoga sessions that promote connection to Bundjalung Country and language.

Activities include Jugun Dandii weaving, Bush Kindy flower painting, face painting, fire truck and more.

The day will also include a fantastic raffle filled with prizes from local businesses such as Synthesis Organics and Calmer Chai, along with artworks by Indigenous artists.

More than just a fundraiser, the Family Fun Day is an opportunity for local families from the Centre and all surrounding schools and communities to gather together and strengthen community ties.

‘The event is dearly loved by the children and such a wonderful chance for all local families to enjoy a day together’, said Ms Diehl. ’It’s an opportunity to strengthen our community ties, while also supporting the centre.’

Saturday 18 October from 10am to 2pm at Federal Community Children’s Centre, 898 Binna Burra Road, Federal.

Interview with Genevieve Clay-Smith, director of Boss Cat showing at the Byron Bay Film Festival

When Sonja (Olivia Hargroder) loses her mother without warning, the only steady presence left in her life is her grandmother, Doris. But Doris’s idea of stability means dismantling everything Sonja has built. For Sonja, who lives with Trisomy 21 (Down syndrome) and has spent her life fighting to be underestimated by no one, Doris’ plan feels less like protection and more like erasure. Directed by Genevieve Clay-Smith, Boss Cat is a vibrant, big-hearted Australian dramedy about independence, family and self-determination, anchored by a fearless lead performance.
