A creative gathering for war widows and defence families
We’re inviting war widows, defence and veteran families to join us on Friday 10 October 2025 for a free macramé workshop at our head office, Families of Veterans Guild, 9 Help St Chatswood. It’s open to anyone connected to ADF service — including partners, carers, widows and adult children.
Join us in learning a new skill with a fun craft and take something meaningful home with you. Connect with others who understand the unique ups and downs of defence life. Morning tea and all materials will be provided. This will be hosted by our Wellbeing Team.
Macrame workshop
War widows, defence and veteran families are warmly invited to our Chatswood office for a relaxing creative workshop. Join us as we guide you through making your own macramé wall hanging. This is a wonderful opportunity to slow down, connect with others, and enjoy some time for self-care. Morning tea will be provided.
Hop on the Metro train (just a quick 14min 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 morning tea 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.”
