PARC’s annual Christmas Giving Tree is back! 🎄

We’re proud to once again partner with Community Support Frankston to help families in need this Christmas. Over the years, our community’s generosity has been amazing - and this year, it’s needed more than ever! 

How you can help: 

🎁 Donate: We welcome non-perishable pantry items that are in-date, and unopened, as new toys that are left unwrapped. 
🎄 Where: Donation box near PARC reception 
🎅 When: Donations cut off on Friday 11 December to allow time to distribute. 

Let’s spread joy and make this Christmas brighter for everyone in our local community!
Help us shape a more active Frankston 🏊🏃

Over the past year, we have been working to improve awareness and understanding of physical activity across the Frankston community. 

We want to hear your story and experience. 

Be part of shaping a healthier Frankston and share your voice by completing our 5-minute follow-up survey. Your feedback will help us understand awareness of the National Physical Activity Guidelines, assess our impact on physical activity participation, and identify opportunities to better support people in leading active, healthy lives. The results will help guide future programs, resources and initiatives across the community. 

Complete the survey via the link in our bio. 

Thank you for taking the time to complete the survey. Your responses are so valuable in helping us supporting the Frankston community 💙
