National Families Week is Australia’s annual celebration of families and the important role they play in our lives. This year’s theme - “Lending a Hand to Thrive: Supporting Each Other” - shines a light on the strength that comes from connection, care and community.

It’s a great chance to take a break, spend time together and enjoy the small moments that help us feel connected.

While you’re celebrating, swing by the Drop & Swap at the Murray Bridge Library, running Friday 16 to Sunday 18 May. Donate what you can and take what you need - from gently used kids’ clothes to toys and baby gear. It’s a great way to support other families and live more sustainably. Find out more here.
