🎉Spotlight is officially 30 years old in New Zealand! 🎉 It’s hard to believe that it has been three decades since we opened the doors on our very first New Zealand store in Wairau Park back in 1996. From that single store to 22 stores nationwide, our loyal Spotlight customers have stood with us every step of the way, inspiring us with their latest projects. A huge thank you to our incredible team members who represent our brand each and every day, helping local communities across New Zealand with all their home, crafting and fabric needs. Here’s to the next 30 years of creating, decorating and celebrating in New Zealand! #SpotlightNewZealand #ItsWhatYouMakeIt

On Wednesday 6 May, we were proud to support Safe Steps Family Violence Response Centre and their annual Candlelight Vigil by donating candles and batteries for the event, thanks to the support of our wonderful Spotlight buying team. Held at Parliament House Victoria, the vigil brought together more than 350 family members, friends, community supporters and leaders to remember the women and children lost to family and domestic violence and to acknowledge the ongoing impact on victim survivors. Safe Steps Family Violence Response Centre is Victoria's only 27/7 family violence response service, providing immediate and confidential support to people experiencing family and domestic violence. Demand for support continues to grow, with the service recording a significant increase in calls and live chats over the past year. The event was supported by government and community leaders, including Jacinta Allen and Vicki Ward, alongside advocates and support organisations committed to raising awareness and supporting those affected by family violence. We are grateful to have played a small part in supporting such an important community event and helping create a meaningful space for remembrance and reflection.
Last night, on Domestic Violence Remembrance Day, we hosted the annual Candlelight Vigil. Led by courageous survivors and passionate advocates, the Safe Steps Candlelight Vigil brought Victoria together in a powerful tribute to honor and remember those whose lives have been lost to family and domestic violence. We extend our heartfelt thanks to the courageous speakers who shared their experiences in the hope of helping others and sparking change. We stand with you 💜 The night was beautifully brought together by our MC Farah Mak – thank you for sharing your experience and warmth with us all. To all of our community, friends and colleagues, thank you for being with us. We are also grateful to RACV , Telstra , Crown Resort Foundation, Spotlight Retail Group (SRG) and the team at Parliament of Victoria for their support. #CandlelightVigil #FamilyViolence #DomesticViolence #SafeSteps #NationalFamilyViolenceRemembranceDay #DFVPM2026 #EndDFV

Harmony Day 🧡 Our Support Office was buzzing as team members came together around a table filled with an incredible spread of homemade dishes from around the world. What started as a simple idea, bring a dish to share, became a celebration of the diversity that makes our team so special. There was plenty of conversation, laughter, and the chance to try something new, with each dish sharing a story of culture and pride. Harmony Day is a great reminder that diversity enriches our workplace, helping us learn from one another and appreciate different perspectives. Thank you to everyone who contributed and made the day such a success. Harmony isn’t just a word - it’s something we create together every day! #HarmonyDay #Diversity #Inclusion #Culture #Belonging #Spotlight #HarrisScarfe #Anaconda #SpotlightFoundation

As Movember shone a spotlight on men’s health, our team rallied together to show support for the men at SRG and beyond. With our light-hearted “No Mo? No Go” condition of entry at our Support Office, we encouraged as many team members as possible to get involved, offering a fun range of stick-on moustaches in all styles, colours, and sizes. The result? Plenty of laughs, plenty of Mos, and plenty of meaningful conversations about Men's health, wellbeing and support. Check out the results below! #Movember #MensHealth #RaisingAwareness #Spotlight #HarrisScarfe #Anaconda #SpotlightFoundation
