Local Families Unite to Support Vulnerable Young People

The spirit of community was on full display as thousands of locals gathered at Ringrose Oval for the much-loved annual event, Carols on Ringrose. Families, friends, and neighbours came together to enjoy an evening of festive entertainment, food trucks, children’s activities, and connection under the warm summer sky.

With the support of the community, we raised $13,500 for our long-standing partner, Youth Off the Streets, a respected organisation dedicated to supporting young people experiencing homelessness, disadvantage, and family hardship. These funds will help provide essential services such as crisis accommodation, education, counselling, and outreach programs during a time of year that can be particularly challenging for vulnerable youth.

Carols on Ringrose is about more than festive celebration—it’s about looking out for one another. We are proud to stand alongside Youth Off the Streets and support the incredible work they do for young people who need it most.

The evening featured live carol performances from Dorothy the Dinosaur and Friends, the Field Brothers, Holly Jolly Band, Taylor and her Besties, local dance groups, a special visit from Santa, food stalls, and plenty of opportunities for families to connect with community organisations. Volunteers, staff, and partners contributed countless hours to help bring the event to life.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who attended, donated, performed, or volunteered, helping make the night truly memorable.

We look forward to continuing our partnership with Youth Off the Streets and to hosting Carols on Ringrose again in 2026.
