What an amazing day out at Midland NAIDOC with the Grow & Grind van ☕💛

Live music, sunshine and plenty of faces, both familiar and new, at Weeip Park – we loved being part of it all!

Thanks to the visitors, performers, stallholders and community organisations for a great day, and to our crew for all their hard work! And a massive thank-you to Indigo Junction for inviting us along and kindly putting $500 towards complimentary drinks for people attending the event!

The Grow & Grind van had an early start this morning, heading to Subiaco Primary School for R U OK?Day ☕️

Whether it’s a friend, neighbour, colleague or someone you haven’t spoken to in a while - take a moment to reach out, listen and let them know you’re there. A warm cuppa can’t fix everything, but it can create an opportunity to stop, talk and ask a genuine “Are you OK?” - not just today, but any day! 💛

Thank you to everyone who stopped by for a chat, and to Subiaco Primary School for making us feel so welcome.

☕️ A Warm Start to the Day at Tom Fisher House ☀️

Our Grow and Grind coffee van was out bright and early this morning, serving up warm coffees and friendly smiles to individuals at Tom Fisher House.

It’s always a privilege to be able to offer a small comfort to start the morning right — a hot drink, a moment of connection, and a little boost for the road ahead.

Thanks to the team Vinnies WA — we’re always grateful to be part of these moments. 💛
