Fletcher Street Cottage

🏡 Celebrating nearly 8,000 volunteer hours for Volunteer Week, welcoming a new Northern NSW Drug and Alcohol Service on Fridays and seeing Art Space continue to thrive 👇

Volunteer Week, New Drug and Alcohol Service and Art Space | Byron Community Centre Fletcher Street Cottage Highlights: 18th – 22nd May 2026

Every day, people in our community turn to Fletcher Street Cottage for meals, showers, connection and practical support during difficult times.

In just one day recently, our team supported:
🤝 100 visits
🍽️ 85 breakfasts
🚿 20 showers
🧺 10 washes

Behind every number is a real person navigating hardship.

With rising housing and cost of living pressures, more locals are needing support than ever before. Support starts with basic needs. Wraparound care and practical assistance make the change.

This EOFY, we’re asking our community to help keep care and connection available for the people who need it most. Make a tax deductible donation before June 30 and help show that Byron cares.

Handmade with love! Thank you to our laundry volunteer Corrina, who has been knitting beautiful scarves for people accessing Fletcher Street Cottage this winter.

These simple acts of kindness from volunteers (and community members) can make such a difference on a cold day, bringing not just warmth, but care and connection too. Happy Volunteer Week!
