APN-SA Western Branch Community BBQ QT Hub

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 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

Jobseeker Community Forum | Jobseeker Payments Need To Rise Clarence Park Community Centre

JOBSEEKER PAYMENTS NEED TO RISE!

Join Grannies for Action and the Anti-Poverty Network SA for a powerful community forum centring the voices that matter most — people with lived experience of surviving on JobSeeker.

In one of the wealthiest countries in the world, people relying on JobSeeker are being forced to live in deep poverty. This isn’t inevitable — it’s a political choice.

Hear firsthand stories of what it really means to live on an income that doesn’t cover the basics. Together, we’ll unpack the reality, challenge harmful narratives, and build momentum for change.

How can we allow this to continue? We can’t — and we won’t.

Come along, listen, learn, and be part of collective action for a more just and fair society.

Everyone is welcome.

Your voice matters.

Change starts here.
