Arts Community

kindness Changes everything

Like the wings of a butterfly, kindness has a ripple effect in the community. To compliment ACH Group’s 2020 SALA exhibition members of the broader community were also invited to be part of our community project in the form of an art installation made up of over 1,000 paper butterfl ies.

The response was overwhelming, from the messages of kindness received, to over 2,000 glitter coated and beautifully painted and embellished butterfl ies. Butterfl y artists range from 2 to 103 years old, from residents at ACH Group’s residential care homes, over 20 schools across South Australia, family, sta and many more! Butterfl ies represent many things to di erent people, including hope, life, joy, kindness and creativity.

keeping hearts full and hands warm

Winter is a great time to pick up the knitting needles, especially to help someone in need. Perry Park residents did just this with their community initiative ‘Keeping Hearts Full and Hands Warm’, by reaching out to others to also contribute. The result was hundreds of pieces of handwarmers and beanies gifted to Adelaide’s homeless community through Vinnies.

Be ready – this will open up again in april 2021!
