Community Support Sydney

You Are Not Alone: Estrangement Support Group

Our first event will be a relaxed and informal catch-up over coffee. It is simply an opportunity to meet others who understand how complicated and isolating family estrangement can be. There will be no pressure to tell your story or share anything you would prefer to keep private. You are welcome to talk, listen, enjoy a coffee and get to know the group at your own pace. This is a social peer-support gathering, not a therapy or counselling session. We ask everyone to respect each other’s privacy, boundaries and individual decisions. There is no expectation that members should reconcile with family or follow any particular path. Come as you are. The most important thing is knowing that you do not have to navigate this experience alone. There is a $10 deposit required this is just to gurantee attendance it will be refunded upon attendance or if you cancel by 5pm Thursday 30 July 2026. If I need to cancel due to low numbers or change this event it will be done on this platform. If you have any questions please text me on: 0435 002 698. As soon as a venue is sorted I will post it on this site if on the day you cannot find us or have any concerns once again please text me on: 0435 002 698

Weekly Coffee Catch Up

**Everyone is welcome!** Whether you’re part of a local community group that’s struggling with admin friction or you’ve just started "vibe coding" and want to build something that actually matters, come grab a coffee. We are currently collating **Bluehex Blocks**—standalone tools that solve real problems today and will eventually dock into our single 1-stop solution for Australian non-profits, charities and communities. We’re all about open doors and high-energy builds—it’s simply a chance to lean in with your skills (or your community insights) and create real impact for the public good.
