R U OK Day isn't a once-a-year tick box. Checking in matters every single day — not just when it's trending. 💛 Make it a habit, not a hashtag.

Love Beacon of Hope Project 🩷

We asked a vendor why she loves BOHP Inclusive Markets. Her answer, in three words: "Supported, safe, and it's fun."

That's exactly what we set out to build — a space where women aren't just selling, they're belonging. 🩷

Thank you Amelia for sharing your feedback, we truly appreciate it ✨

🕯️ We're turning ONE! 🎉

A year ago, Beacon of Hope Project was just an idea born from lived experience and a belief that women deserve better. We're throwing our first birthday party — and it's also our unofficial launch AND our very first AGM!

Come celebrate with us on Tuesday 7th October at Wests Illawarra:

🎨 11:30am — Peer-led craft station, service mini-expo, our Inclusive Markets vendors, an info station on where we're headed next, and a panel discussion about the value of lived experience from specialists in supporting women; so far we have lined up Dr Karen Williams, MP Anna Watson and BOHP Peer Worker, Registered Nurse, Founder of Neurodivergent Nurses and PHD candidate researching neurodivergent nurses Jessie Smithers.
📋 2:00pm — Our first ever Annual General Meeting

This one's for everyone, it's about showing creativity, community and connection can happen anywhere — we welcome vendors, volunteers, partners, and the women we walk alongside. Let's celebrate how far we've come and where we're going next. 💗
