Why we should have more hobbies

A person with braided hair is painting on a canvas placed on an easel. The person is wearing a light-colored sweater and ripped jeans, and is holding a paintbrush in one hand and a palette in the other. The background features large windows, and the image is framed with a circular border on a colorful background with green and yellow circles.

In today’s complex world where social expectations to perform, combined with financial pressure, can lead us down the path of deteriorating mental health.

Meet Cool Marie our oh so cool Participant.

A group of six people is standing in front of a green building, holding a large ceremonial cheque. The cheque is made out to the Sydney Children’s Hospitals Foundation for the amount of $6,800. The date on the cheque is 27/11/2024, and it is from 'COOL MARIE.' The cheque and the people are framed within a circular border with butterfly and leaf graphics. There is also a basket with various items placed on the ground in front of the group.

Marie is one of our fantastic participants who has an exceptional talent for making all things craft. From handmade bags to plush lions, she even has hand-painted artwork.
