🎄❤️ CALLING ALL FLEURIEU BUSINESSES & SERVICES! ❤️🎄
✨ Help us bring a little extra Christmas magic to our village. ✨
This Christmas, Our Diverse Village wants to do something a little extra special for the families in our community, and we're calling on our wonderful local businesses, organisations and service providers to help us make it happen. 🎁
Our Diverse Village is a parent led community connecting families of children with additional needs and neurodivergence across the Fleurieu Peninsula. We're passionate about creating a place where families feel understood, supported and connected, because we know that sometimes, finding your village can make all the difference.
For some of our families, Christmas can be an incredibly challenging time.
Some are navigating financial pressures, mounting medical expenses and the additional costs that can come with raising a child with additional needs. Others are managing complex medical needs, therapies and the everyday challenges that don't simply pause for the festive season.
And for some families, Christmas looks very different to what the world expects.
For parents whose children may not understand what Christmas is, who may not experience the excitement of opening presents or who experience the festive season differently because of their additional needs, this time of year can bring a quiet kind of heartbreak. Watching the world celebrate something your child may not understand or experience in the same way can be incredibly difficult.
Every family's journey is different, but every family deserves to feel included, supported and surrounded by kindness. ❤️
That's why, this December, we want to bring a little extra Christmas magic to our village. ✨
We're hosting our Our Diverse Village Christmas Catch Up on Monday, 14 December, and we'd love to make it a memorable occasion for the families who join us.
We're reaching out to Fleurieu businesses and services who might be willing to donate or gift something to help make this possible.
🎁 Gift vouchers or experiences for families 🎄 Christmas gifts or goodies for the children 🧸 Toys, books, craft supplies or sensory items ☕ Food, drinks or coffee vouchers 🎉 Family experiences or activities 💝 Products, services or donations that could help make our Christmas Catch Up extra special
No contribution is too small, and every act of generosity has the potential to make a real difference.
If you're a local business, organisation or service provider who would like to be part of this, we'd love to hear from you. Please send us a message through our page or email us at [email protected]
And if you know a local business that might like to help, please tag them below or share this post. 🫶
Because Christmas isn't about how much we spend or how perfectly everything goes. It's about kindness, connection and making sure no family feels forgotten.
Let's come together as a community and show our families that they have a village standing beside them. ❤️🎄
Our Diverse Village Connecting families. Building community. Creating belonging.
