Amazing ProCare Connects with Logan City Council on Community Programs

On 3 November 2026, Amazing ProCare met with Ranandy Stanley, Community Development Officer at Logan City Council, to discuss local community programs and ways to help more residents hear about them.

The meeting focused on two key areas: the weekly activities Amazing ProCare runs in Buccan and the organisation’s Community Pantry. Both programs are designed to bring people together, offer practical support, and create familiar places where community members can connect.

The conversation also explored how upcoming events and activities could be shared through council’s community channels, helping local residents find out what is happening in their area.

Sharing community programs with more local residents

Amazing ProCare’s weekly activities in Buccan provide a regular opportunity for people to take part in social and community-based programs close to home. For many residents, local activities are easier to attend when they are familiar, nearby, and clearly promoted.

During the meeting, Amazing ProCare shared how these weekly activities help create connection across the community. Regular programs can give people a reason to leave the house, meet others, build confidence, and stay involved in local life.

The Community Pantry was also part of the discussion. The pantry offers practical support in a community setting and helps bring people together around everyday needs. These kinds of programs can be especially helpful when residents are looking for local, accessible assistance without needing to travel far.

A key part of the discussion was communication. Community programs often rely on word of mouth, flyers, Facebook posts, local newsletters, and community noticeboards. Council community channels can also play a useful role by helping residents find reliable information about what is on.

By speaking with Logan City Council, Amazing ProCare is taking steps to make sure more people know when activities are happening, where they are held, and how they can get involved.

Why local promotion matters

Community programs work best when people know they exist. A helpful program can still be missed if residents do not hear about it in time, do not know who it is for, or are unsure whether they are welcome to attend.

That is why local promotion matters. Clear and consistent information can make the difference between someone staying home and someone deciding to come along.

For community activities, the most useful information is often simple:

• What the activity is

• Who can attend

• Where it is held

• When it is happening

• Whether bookings are needed

• What support is available on the day

  
  

When this information appears in trusted local places, residents can feel more confident about taking the next step.

Amazing ProCare and Logan City Council discussed ways upcoming events may be shared through council’s community channels. This could help improve awareness of programs in Buccan and across the Logan area, especially for residents who rely on local networks to stay informed.

The meeting also created an opportunity to explain the purpose behind the programs. Weekly activities and the Community Pantry are not only about events or services. They are also about connection, consistency, and community support.

Building stronger connections through the Logan Seniors Network

Amazing ProCare has also joined the Logan Seniors Network, which brings together local organisations and community groups that support older people.

The network provides a way for organisations to share information, learn from one another, and stay connected with what is happening across Logan. For groups working with seniors, this kind of connection can help reduce duplication, improve referrals, and build a clearer picture of local needs.

Through the Logan Seniors Network, Amazing ProCare can share updates about its own programs while also learning what other organisations are doing for older residents. This helps create stronger links between services, community groups, and local initiatives.

For older people, families, carers, and support workers, connected local networks can make community information easier to find. When organisations know more about each other, they can better guide people towards activities and support that may suit their needs.

The network also supports a wider community approach. No single group can meet every need on its own. Local organisations, community groups, council teams, volunteers, and residents all play a part in building inclusive places where seniors can stay active and connected.

A shared focus on local connection

The meeting with Ranandy Stanley reflects a shared focus on improving community awareness and access. Amazing ProCare’s programs are local, practical, and people-centred, while council community channels can help residents discover opportunities they may not otherwise hear about.

This connection is especially useful for programs that depend on regular attendance and trust. When residents see information through familiar community sources, it can help them feel more comfortable reaching out or attending for the first time.

For Amazing ProCare, the conversation was also a chance to strengthen relationships with local networks. Working alongside council and community organisations can help programs reach more people, respond to local needs, and stay connected to what is happening across Logan.

The focus now is on continuing to share upcoming activities, keep residents informed, and build stronger links with organisations that support seniors and the wider community.

What happens next

Following the meeting, Amazing ProCare will continue looking at ways to promote its weekly Buccan activities and Community Pantry through local community channels. The organisation will also take part in the Logan Seniors Network, sharing program updates and learning from other groups working with older people across the region.

These steps support the same goal: helping more residents find out what is available close to home.

Community programs are strongest when people know about them, feel welcome, and can take part in ways that suit their lives. By connecting with Logan City Council and the Logan Seniors Network, Amazing ProCare is helping build clearer pathways between local residents, community activities, and practical support.
