End of year festivities with The b kinder foundation

To celebrate the end of another wonderful year of training, SMT hosted a relaxed end-of-year BBQ to thank our staff, trainers, board members and industry partners who help make SMT what it is.

The event was held in conjunction with The b kinder foundation, with SMT proudly recognised as a b kinder workplace. It was a great opportunity for everyone involved with SMT to come together, reflect on the year and enjoy time together in a fun, informal setting.

The day was filled with great food, drinks flowing, and brightly coloured balloons marking the close of a big year in 2025. Adding to the festive spirit, b kinder also sold T-shirts and Christmas cards, raising funds to support their important work.

Lovely and warm welcome from Danny Mayson-Kinder (The b kinder CEO and Founder) & Mabel Huryk (right) to all attendees

A wonderful way to finish the year, thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make it such a memorable celebration!
