🌸 Proudly Featured in Lifestyle Barrington Coast Magazine! 🌸

What a night on 25 September! So many incredible faces came together — a huge thanks to event champion Simon Gould, Orbit Marketing, for making it all happen! 🙌

"If there’s one thing that defines the Barrington Coast community, it’s the way people show up for one another." Every October, this spirit becomes visible in a wave of pink — as individuals, businesses, and organisations take part in Pink Up Forster Tuncurry

Simon Gould, longtime advocate and head Pinky, says it best:

“Pink is a symbol of unity, compassion, and the strength we find in each other. Every ribbon, every event, every conversation helps fund vital support for families.”

So, if you notice the streets, shops, and skies a little pinker than usual this October, it’s our community spirit glowing and our message of support shining through. 💗
