Sydney families of ADF members are invited to a baking workshop
Has any of your loved ones ever served in the Australian Defence Force? Are you connected to defence service in any way? Whether you’re the partner of a current member, a veteran spouse, parent, adult child or a widow of a veteran, we warmly invite defence and veteran families to join us for our baking workshop at Kissingpoint Cottage on Thursday 6 March 2025, brought to you by our Wellbeing Program.
Families of veterans and war widows make unique sacrifices during and after service. They balance the many demands of supporting a family, navigating grief and loss, relocations or adjustments, deployments or other absence from home, transition out of service or caring roles due to illness or injury.
Social connection, peer support and self-care are at the core of our wellbeing activities. We acknowledge that veteran families may face barriers in developing and maintaining peer connections due to the unique nature of defence life, increasing their risk of social isolation and loneliness. The purpose of this activity is to encourage the families of veterans to focus on self-care and expand their social network by connecting with like-minded peers.
Baking workshop
Defence and veteran Families are invited to come together for a baking workshop. Facilitated by Social Worker, Gabby Steel, veteran families will be guided to make cupcakes. The activity offers a wonderful opportunity for Defence and Veteran families to come together in a supportive and creative environment. At the end of the workshop, families will have cupcakes they’ve made themselves and a recipe to take home and share.
There is no cost for this activity. Your baking workshop and baking kit will be covered by Families of Veterans Guild. Ingredients and a recipe are provided.
Previous attendees to Wellbeing activities said “What a wonderful experience it was to engage with such a lovely group. I’m grateful for the opportunity to focus on self-care and make new connections.”
