Last night we watched the State of Origin decider on the big screen at Soul with some of our guests. It was great. Go the Blues!

This morning I was on the door at Soul (shivering) and spoke to one of the guests who watched the game with us last night. We talked about what a great game it was and then he said:

“I haven’t watched a game of State of Origin since Alfie Langer came back from England and the last time I got to actually go to a game Wally Lewis was playing.”

I thought to myself ‘wow, that must have been 30yrs ago’. And so I just googled it. Alfie Langer came back from England to play State of Origin in 2001 … so it wasn’t 30yrs but it was a pretty long time ago.

This morning I’m reminded how simple it can be sometimes to make someone’s day.

Soul Hub’s model for supporting vulnerable people is much like a 3 legged stool.

Leg1: Simple practical support.

Leg 2: Community, our ‘secret sauce’ for transformation. (This is where watching State of Origin with guests fits in).

Leg 3: A Convergence of Help.
