Butterfly Hearts, Suicide and Grief Awareness Dinner
About
Butterfly Hearts: Suicide & Grief Awareness DinnerThis Suicide Prevention Month, we're bringing Ipswich together for a night that matters. Every dollar raised on the night goes straight to First Light Widowed Support Group, Australia's only charity providing national support to young widowed people through the isolation and unique challenges of losing a partner.
Join us for Butterfly Hearts' inaugural Ipswich event, an evening of connection, awareness, support, and community.
With heartfelt thanks to our major sponsors

This event is proudly local, born from local grief, built by local hands, and held for our Ipswich community. Created by two local women who know devastating grief firsthand, this evening is a safe space for honest conversations, real support, and hope. But most of all, it's a night to come together, let your hair down, and connect with people who truly understand, surrounded by the businesses and faces of our own community.
Together, we will honour loved ones lost to suicide, raise vital awareness around grief, and remind our community that no one has to walk these journeys alone, all while enjoying a beautiful night out with great company and live music.
Whether you've experienced loss personally, are supporting someone who has, or simply want to help build a more compassionate community around mental health, you are warmly welcome here.
Because behind every statistic is a human being. And every grieving heart deserves support.

Supporting a Vital Cause
100% of profits from this evening go directly to First Light Widowed Support Group, Australia's only charity providing national support to young widowed people from all backgrounds and relationship structures, offering vital connections, peer support, and resources to those navigating profound isolation.
Live Music & Room to Breathe
We know how heavy grief is to carry every single day. This is a night to let your shoulders drop, share a laugh, and hit the dance floor. There will be a live band and plenty of moments of genuine joy, because honouring our loved ones can, and should, include celebration and fun.
Fundraising Raffles
Local Ipswich businesses have thrown their arms around this cause, generously donating some beautiful prizes for our raffles. Every dollar raised from these goes directly into making sure another young widowed person gets the support they desperately need.
