I've wanted to volunteer for some time now, and have been looking for an organisation that aligns with my values on sustainability and caring for the environment.

At the start of 2023 I reached out to my local Repair Cafe at Woolloongabba to find out if they needed more sewing volunteers to help people with mending and keeping their textile items out of landfill. I attended all 6 cafes during the year and hope to volunteer at many more.

I wasn't entirely enthused about doing my yearly review and planning cycle for 2023/2024. Last year got pretty rough with work and my mental health so I didn't do as much on my goals as I would have liked.  Once I started getting into reviewing and planning though, I ended up feeling good about it and continued through my usual goal-setting activities.
