An act of recognition and connection
This November, we invite you to join us at our Chatswood office to take part in a Christmas card writing session. Together, we will write Christmas wishes for war widows in our community.
This activity is open to all war widows, defence and veteran families. It is a way to come together, strengthen connections, and give back to those who carry the burden of service.
Facilitated by our Wellbeing Team, the session provides time to connect with others while contributing to something meaningful. Lunch and all materials will be provided.
Writing Christmas cards to war widows
War widows, along with defence and veteran families, are warmly invited to join us at our Chatswood office for a festive and creative session. Together, we’ll write Christmas cards to all widows in the organisation, offering a meaningful way to connect, pause, and celebrate the spirit of the season. This is also a wonderful opportunity to give back, volunteering to send heartfelt Christmas cards. Lunch will be provided, making it a relaxed and enjoyable way to spend time with others during the holidays.
Choose the days that work best for you. You’re welcome to drop in at any time and don’t need to stay for the entire session.
Hop on the Metro train (just a quick 14 min ride from either Central to Chatswood or Ryde to Chatswood). Feel free to explore the lively streets of Chatswood, with its great shops, dining, and unique attractions.
There is no cost for this activity. Your materials and lunch will be covered by Families of Veterans Guild.
Previous attendees to Wellbeing activities said “I just wanted to express my gratitude for being able to connect with such a wonderful group. It was such a great opportunity to do a self-care activity and get to know some of the other attendees at the same time.”
