Stationery Aid
Stationery Aid is a new initiative helping people to recycle their unwanted stationery items which in turn will be distributed to people in need.
I’VE JUST connected with a great group who are turning “landfill into heart fill one school booklist at a time”. Called ‘Stationery Aid’, they’re asking for people to donate their surplus stationery for children in need. You’ve got to love how practical recycling of stationery goods can be good for the environment and also children. This not-for-profit organisation saw a need to take surplus and unused stationery and to sort it and return it to active use.
It’s a great waste reduction initiative that I strongly support. I have a collection point in the foyer of my office at 148 Horton Parade Maroochydore. I will pass on this stationery to the charity who then in turn sort the goods and put together the ‘Book Lists’ material for participating schools with children in need identified by the school with the additional help of the school chaplains and care teams.

Mudjimba Community Garden
How good is the new Mudjimba Community Garden? Located at the North Shore Sports Grounds, it is turning an unloved area into a growing and thriving community endeavour. I was delighted to go along to their open day and to see the plans and support the group.
Cost of Living
There are a lot of people hurting with the high cost of living at the moment. While State Government subsidies won’t cover all the issues, if you need help in navigating some of these grants, contact me at my office on 5406 7100 or at maroochydore@parliament.qld.gov.au. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you need help or want to discuss any issues of importance to you.
