Celebrating Connection at the Mother’s Day Brunch

AB Central came alive with laughter, music and meaningful connection as local mothers and seniors gathered for the 2026 Mother’s Day Brunch on 6 May.

Delivered by the Sydney South West Community Renewal and Tenant Participation Team, the event welcomed 61 community members from Airds and Bradbury for a relaxed afternoon focused on celebrating mothers, strengthening friendships and bringing people together in a warm and welcoming environment.

The day featured a shared lunch, live entertainment, and a flower arrangement workshop that gave attendees an opportunity to connect, create and enjoy quality time together. Community members shared stories over lunch, participated in activities and enjoyed performances throughout the afternoon, including a special song performed by local mothers and daughters.

The event was proudly co-designed alongside community partner Our Lore, helping create a space that reflected connection, inclusion and community spirit. Feedback from attendees was overwhelmingly positive, with many commenting on how wonderful it was to meet new faces, reconnect with others and simply enjoy each other’s company.

The event also highlighted the value of place-based community activities in building belonging and reducing social isolation, particularly for seniors and local mothers. Staff collaboration, strong community engagement and a welcoming atmosphere contributed to the success of the day.

The Mother’s Day Brunch continues to demonstrate how simple, meaningful activities can strengthen community connection and create positive experiences for local residents.

Rhythm of Our Roots

The Rhythms of Our Roots, a Luau event in the suburb of Airds on Thursday 16 April was a remarkable success. The event took place during school holidays at AB Central, a Homes NSW facility and it highlighted the power of community‑led engagement and its importance in shaping Homes NSW projects.

The day began early with local young people preparing a traditional Samoan Umu, setting the tone for an authentic, hands‑on cultural experience. Attendees then moved through interactive workshops across cultural villages, exchanging stories, traditions and skills in a way that was genuinely community‑driven and deeply meaningful.

The evening Luau was opened with a Smoking Ceremony delivered by the Tharawal Aboriginal Medical Service, before transitioning into a Hawaiian‑style feast and lively performances. Over 200 people came together to share a meal and enjoy a floorshow by local community groups—reinforcing a strong sense of pride, ownership and belonging. Throughout the day, a genuine spirit of warmth and connection reflected the strength of the multi-cultural community.

Events like this demonstrate how Homes NSW can create more successful, inclusive and sustainable projects by listening to communities, celebrating culture and building partnerships that place people at the centre of everything we do.
