May Gibbs “Nutcote” as an essential part in the North Sydney community
Aug 27, 2018
Cecilia May Gibbs was born in England in 1877. May was the daughter of talented amateur artists who migrated to Australia in 1881 and who later arranged for her formal art training in London. Being a single woman in a male-dominated field she initially turned her hand to any market for sketches or paintings to support herself. May’s love of the Australian bush grew from her happy childhood in WA. It manifested itself in her series of books, cartoons and short stories of which “Snugglepot and Cuddlepie” is the most famous having been in the bookshops continuously since 1918. Through a series of illustrations, we will follow May’s training in London and her lifestyle after she returned to Australia in 1913 and settled in Neutral Bay eventually designing her own home, Nutcote, in conjunction with popular Sydney architect B J Waterhouse in 1924/5. Dick Gall is a retired Mechanical Engineer who has worked at May Gibbs former home Nutcote in Neutral Bay as handyman/gardener for about eighteen years. Prior to retirement Dick worked for a major food company as Purchasing Manager specialising in procurement of food ingredients from overseas manufacturers. This exposure lead to some overseas travel which Dick and his wife now enjoy in a private capacity along with their local volunteering activities. At the North Sydney Council's Australian Citizenship ceremony in 2012 Dick was honoured with the council's award of Citizen of the Year for his volunteer efforts at Nutcote. |

CanTeen-CanTeen is here for you if you're 12-25 and cancer has turned your world upside down
Sep 24, 2018
We get it. Just when life should be full of possibilities, cancer crashes into a young person’s world and shatters everything. Cancer pushes them back in to the nest, makes them grow up too fast and weighs them down with worries they’re not supposed to have yet. CanTeen is the game changer. We help young people cope with cancer in their family. Through CanTeen, they learn to explore and deal with their feelings about cancer, connect with other young people in the same boat and if they’ve been diagnosed themselves, we also provide specialist, youth-specific treatment teams. By feeling understood and supported, young people develop resilience and can rebuild the foundations that crumbled beneath them when cancer turned their life upside down. That’s how CanTeen is the difference. But lets not steal Peter's thunder, come along to our meeting on Monday 24th September and hear what Peter has to tell us about 'Can-Teen'. |

Their focus is on creating a safe, positive and supportive environment for people who are too often ignored or who feel disconnected from the community. Their volunteers are not social workers or experts on homelessness - they are empathetic listeners and great conversationalists. |
