SAGE is a community for all folks who love and care for our planet. Our monthly gatherings are a space to nourish each other, so that we can nourish our world.

Join us for an evening of delicious food, hearty discussion and new skills. The night will start with a shared meal, then we will move into community announcements, then into open space workshops, with lots of space for social breaks throughout.

This month’s SAGE will focus on the anti-war movement in this country. We’ll hear from & about people who are fighting militarism and imperialism – from opposing the AUKUS submarine pact, to calling for the closure of intelligence facilities and weapons companies, to protesting Australia’s alignment with US-led wars. We’ll also learn about ways to get involved.

We’re inviting speakers (to be announced soon) but we also welcome workshop/discussion ideas about the theme from everyone in the community – no need to message us, just turn up with your idea!

If you’ve got a mate who could run a good workshop on this theme, call them up & invite them.

Plus, as always, anyone can bring workshop or discussion ideas that are completely unrelated to the theme :)

–

Some other things you might want to bring… 🍲 A plate of food to share for the potluck dinner 🫒 Veggies or seedlings for the produce swap 🧵 Something to mend at the mending corner 🌟 Energy to help shape the new space and make it our own!!

Run through of how the night will (roughly) go… 4:30-5:15pm: Arriving, Sharing food. 5:15-5:45pm: Welcome, Community Announcements. 5:45-7:45pm: Open Space Workshop Sessions (including a break for tea/chats). 7:45-8.00pm: Closing Circle.

All welcome. Come anytime that suits you.

SAGE will now be held at YouthInc, an alternative school for 18-25 yr olds in a cool converted church on Pulteney St. We’re keen to build a mutual relationship with the generous YouthInc crew and help make the space our own for the long haul.

Of course, SAGE is still (& will always be) for all ages. Young or old, parent or pensioner, first-timer or seasoned activist - everyone is welcome.

See you there!

Hello friends,

After our first three hugely enjoyable and successful BBQs we’ve set the dates for the rest of 2026! The BBQs are held on the third Sunday every second month, at QT Hub, 11 am - 2pm:

17 May 19 July 20 September 15 November

The BBQ is about more than sharing a meal - it’s about coming together, supporting one another, and building a culture of care and connection, especially at a time when the cost-of-living crisis and fuel crisis is affecting so many in our community.

We will have a range of meat, vegan, vegetarian, halal and gluten-free options available.

We’re also hosting a Pop-up Op Shop with all kinds of free items for children and adults. The Peoples’ Library will also be there with a selection of books for you to borrow.

You’ll also have an opportunity, if interested, to learn more about the Anti-Poverty Network and how to become involved with anti-poverty work.

The venue is accessible and we also provide transport support.

We would love for you to join us!

The Western Branch of APN SA

The Western Branch of APN SA is supported by the Minor Works Project. —————————————————————- The BBQ takes place on the Traditional lands of the Kaurna people. We pay our respects to Elders past and present, and recognise that sovereignty of this land was never ceded. See less

Join our Northern Suburbs Branch for our FREE Community BBQ! Free food and free giveaways, like clothing and other donated items. There are often other activities, like facepainting, or balloon blowing, and definitely some conversation and connecting!!

The BBQ area and playground are accessible, however be aware there is a large pond also if you have young children.

All welcome!!

Anti-Poverty Network SA is a volunteer-run community advocacy group, made-up of job-seekers, pensioners, carers, students, sole parents, and allies, advocating for dignity and justice for all low-income people. We are often joined at the BBQ’s by other organisation and are supported by the Playford Women’s Shed.

This event is sponsored by local businesses and is for members, supporters, and the community, to have a chance to socialise, have a chat about shared challenges, or maybe to seek some information on how to navigate the challenges associated with life, especially when living in poverty. You can also learn more about who we are; what we do; and how you can get involved.

If anyone would like to support the Northern Branch BBQ’s there are many ways to do so. Financial donations can be made on our website and if you would like to support the BBQ through other means, or if you have clothing or other donations, please email for more information.
