Congratulations to our deserving community grants winner who received a Stockland CARE Grant in 2018. Stockland is pleased to support such deserving organisations for their ongoing contribution to the local community.

Nicole Eckels is the American founder and driving force behind Glasshouse Candles and Circa Home, two highly successful, quality home candle/fragrance brands that are perfectly positioned in the Australian market as ‘desirable, achievable luxury’.

Cec Busby had never really entertained the thought of children until she met her partner, Claire. “Claire had always known she wanted kids and when she brought it up, it just seemed a natural progression to our relationship,” Cec said. With the help of a dear friend as a donor, Cec and Claire are now the proud parents of son Harper (6) and daughter Mackenzie (3) and their donor dad, Wade, has an active role as a father in their children’s lives.

With property prices in the major cities going ever-skywards, Maja and her husband and kids could be described as the ‘new kind of family’. They have chosen to live in a buzzy inner city Sydney suburb in a two-bedroom apartment rather than moving further (and further) out to the traditional Aussie home with backyard.

I never thought I’d have kids. “Alanah, a close friend of mine, is a lesbian and neither of us thought we’d ever have kids, although we used to talk about having a kid together one day,” says Patrick Lukins, a paramedic who lives in Sydney’s inner west.
