Dear friends 🙏💚

Happy 2025! We hope you’re feeling refreshed and ready for the year ahead. 😊

As you may know, LETS Grow Free is a not-for-profit organisation, entirely run by volunteers. However, some of our volunteers are needing to step back in order to focus on their personal lives and families. As a result, we’ll be minimising our operations in 2025.

With a heavy heart, we’re pausing programs such as bulk buys, social get-togethers, market days, wellbeing zooms, and other initiatives.

Are you having trouble getting your head around how the online exchange works?

Jump on this zoom!  We are happy to help 😊

Do you sometimes worry that old school values and common decency are not alive in this modern world?
In LETS Grow Free we embrace old school virtues and seek to remind people of these inherent strengths.
We encourage you to demonstrate these strengths so that our children have good, solid, wholesome role models.

Our Virtue for mid March to mid April is FAITH 🙏

Did you know that volunteering improves your health?   We are happy to bring you on board as a volunteer with LETS Grow Free.
There are lots of options available 💜
According to the attached article...Volunteering is good for the heart both figuratively and physiologically. Those who volunteer tend to have lower rates of heart disease and report higher levels of happiness than those who do not.

In the old days people knew how to persevere. This was passed down through the generations.  The Virtue of Perseverance is clearly demonstrated in this amazing true story.   We need to keep "perseverance" and other human virtues ALIVE and to demonstrate them to our children. We hope that you enjoy this amazing story of perseverance and feel proud to be Australian 💜

"So picture this.   It’s 1932 and Australia is in the grip of the Great Depression.

In LETS Grow Free we value traditional wisdoms that our members can adopt and apply to their benefit in the modern world. Virtues are universally valued by people of all cultures and religions and are the common thread that unites humanity.

Sending Love and Kindness to our Grow Free family 

Try not to feel worried
Try not to tune into problems that upset you
Don't you know that everything's alright
Yes everything's fine and we want you to sleep well tonight
