EOFY with a twist

This year I wanted to do something different for end of financial year, and celebrating at the NBWS Gala seemed the perfect way to do it 🎉

I realise it is early May, but when I founded Flux, I did so with a purpose to solve real world problems and give back to causes I feel passionate about. Serendipitously, this time last year, a friend invited me to join their table at the Northern Beaches Women's Shelter's annual fundraising event.

Although I’ve lived in the area for many years, I wasn’t familiar with NBWS, but I went along and was truly moved by their work helping women and children in need of safe shelter.

So too the positivity I felt at their event, with clever auctions, fascinating speakers and the outright fun had by all. As I sat there, I made a mental commitment to return and do what I could to help grow the organisation’s reach.

So, it was amazing to do just that for NBWS’ 15th anniversary last Saturday night - and with an event title like “Hope and Transformation,” how could I not attend? 🤷‍♀️

In contrast to my lone attendance the previous year, joining me in 2025 was a full table of wonderful friends, members of our Sydney team, partners and clients - all with a personal or professional connection to both Flux and the Beaches region.

And while EOFY might not be top of mind for all just yet, I felt what better way than to recognise ours than by attending a party like this and paying some of our own success forward to women in need of vital support.

Flux has a clear mission to drive impact at scale as part of our strategy and I look forward to sharing more on this in due course

Congratulations to CEO Narelle Hand and her NBWS team for a truly fantastic event. As we sat there enjoying the night, my group promised to loop back in 2026 with at least three tables! ☺️

I’m hoping many more friends will join us there. I'm looking forward to it already! 🥳
