Empowering families, breaking barriers, and showing how lived experience can shape community change. < Back From Motherhood to Movement Zakaria Farah 8 Oct 2025 Empowering families, breaking barriers, and showing how lived experience can shape community change. https://video.wixstatic.com/video/90d451_7a49e8ba6db54039898e6e34cd697474/1080p/mp4/file.mp4 Habiba’s story is what How We Move is all about. She has taken her life experiences and turned them into purpose by founding 4th Trimester — a space dedicated to supporting parents through birth and the transition into motherhood. As a doula and birth educator, Habiba focuses on restoring confidence and joy by offering care, connection and accessible information. Beyond her professional role, Habiba is a mother, a partner and a community voice. She brings compassion, empathy and understanding into everything she does — from offering restorative post-partum care, to breaking down barriers in the health system, to creating safe spaces where families can make informed decisions. Her journey is a reminder that success can mean transforming personal experience into something successful that empowers others, while still honouring the practices and traditions that shape us. How We Move is a series that captures the different ways voices from our communities navigate life, pursue their dreams and make an impact. “Move” is about more than motion. It is moving through challenges, moving towards opportunities and moving forward in our own way. This series shares the real stories of voices who turned challenges into opportunities and dreams into reality. Each journey reminds us there is no single definition of success. What matters is how we move towards it and the possibilities we open up along the way. Previous Next

2023 Spring Huddle Holiday's Program < Back Sanhae's Spring Emily Phu 31 Oct 2023 2023 Spring Huddle Holiday's Program Huddle Holidays is a free school holiday program that provides young people with opportunities to try new experiences and develop their skills and capacity across social inclusion, health, emotional wellbeing, and leadership. Throughout this Spring School Holiday program at The Huddle, Senior participants had the opportunity to go to Strike Bowling & Laser Tag, Bounce, and to compete in the Huddle’s Basketball Slam, offering a diverse range of activities to keep them engaged and excited. School holidays can be a period where young people may disengage from safe social activities. The Huddle aims to contribute to the reduction of anti-social behaviour by providing activities to engage young people throughout the school break. Further, with the rising cost of living, young people may face financial barriers to access engaging activities, making Huddle Holidays a free option for both the youth and their families. “Huddle Holidays was very fun, very inspiring, and very convenient because you brought us there and brought us back.” Sanhae has attended Huddle programs over 60 times (including Huddle Holidays and Huddle Up!) since joining in 2021. He initially attended Huddle Holidays for the sports tournaments but attended every Senior program this time round. “I had a lot of fun hanging out with the staff members who did Bowling with us and played Dodgeball at Bounce with us.” When asked why Sanhae chose to come to Huddle Holidays for the first time, they shared that “…we are getting older, so there’s not a lot of opportunities left. I also don’t have anything else to do on the holidays. With costs and transport covered, I just had to show up - so it was fun! It was also nice to hang out with friends and make new friends too.” Sanhae will continue to engage in the Huddle’s program, including Huddle Up! at Werribee Secondary College and Huddle Holidays. He is more interested in attending future Huddle Holidays to experience different activities during their school holidays, which speaks to the program's long-lasting impact and appeal to the young people of the North Melbourne, Flemington, and Wyndham communities.

Huddle Up! Junior - The Hub @ Docklands < Back Energising Young Minds Mariam Taleb 19 July 2023 Huddle Up! Junior - The Hub @ Docklands Huddle Up! Junior, a multi-sport program designed for young people aged 5-12 in the City of Melbourne, offers a range of engaging activities at the Hub in Docklands. In collaboration with external sporting organizations, this program delivers one-hour sessions over four weeks, focusing on teaching fundamental sports skills, enhancing physical activity, promoting social connections, and fostering a sense of belonging within the community. One of the program's key objectives is to provide opportunities for young people to engage in safe and social activities after school. By offering a structured and supportive environment, Huddle Up! Junior provides participants with the chance to actively participate, learn new skills, and interact with their friends, fostering a positive after-school experience. This program attempts to remove barriers that can sometimes appear for young children trying to participate in sport. "We like learning and getting better at sports. I have so much fun on Tuesdays, I always smile when I’m at the program" - Participant. Beyond skill development, the program is a catalyst for building connections and forging relationships among young people of all ages. Inside and outside the program, lasting social interactions are formed. Many participants continue their engagement with The Huddle through our other programs, including the exciting Multi-Sport Super Clinics during Huddle Holidays. This year, one of the standout factors was our collaboration with the AFL Men's program. North Melbourne Kangaroos players joined our sessions throughout the year and helped take part in an incredible Huddle Day at Marvel Stadium. This event gave our participants a front-row seat to an AFL match and an opportunity to engage in thrilling pre-game activities like crafts, games, and footy skills practice with the players. The young people and their families received free tickets and took part of the Guard of Honour, lining up on the field to welcome the North Melbourne players. For some, it was their very first AFL match. "I felt like one of them." - Huddle Up! participant on participating in the Guard of Honour https://video.wixstatic.com/video/5d909f_d2699291d80d43d2ad5e5121c0a4f44c/1080p/mp4/file.mp4 From the beginning of 2023, Huddle Up! Junior has had 45 registrations and 113 attendances, with an average of 10 young people per session. These young people also represent 12 different cultural backgrounds, fostering an inclusive environment that encourages cross-cultural connections, understanding, and acceptance. The programs are really well run! It’s such a fantastic weekly opportunity for them to experience a variety of different sports in an age-appropriate environment. We’re appreciative of North Melbourne footy club and The Huddle running these sessions.” - Parent of Participant Huddle Up! Junior Docklands runs every Tuesday from 4-5pm at The Hub, Docklands.

From glowing installations and roving performers to live music, cultural celebrations and community connections, Firefly Night Market was a magical winter evening for everyone. < Back Firefly Night Market Astrid Blackburn 9 July 2026 From glowing installations and roving performers to live music, cultural celebrations and community connections, Firefly Night Market was a magical winter evening for everyone. On Saturday June 27, the Roo Squad team braved the chilly winter weather and attended the annual Firefly Night Market in Tarneit. The joint Roo Squad and Werribee Football Club stall was one of more than 70 market stalls to activate on the night. The event was a great opportunity to connect and chat with local families and community groups. Plus, the team were pleased to sign up many new members to a free Roo Squad membership. Roo Squad is a kids’ membership that provides access to four home matches at Marvel Stadium each season, plus match day activations, special merchandise and much more. The evening was a tremendous success, and we can’t wait to be part of it again next year. Previous Next
