At The Tradies, we believe sport should be welcoming, supportive, and accessible to everyone. It builds confidence, creates connection, and helps people feel part of something bigger. That’s why we’re proud to continue our support of the Canberra Combat Sports Association (CCSA), as they expand their women’s program in 2025. 

Over the last ten years, The Dickson Tradies has quietly transformed the way it operates—cutting power use, reducing waste, and making sustainability part of everyday club life. From rooftop solar to food waste tracking and a fully electric café kitchen, this is the story of how small, consistent changes led to big impact—led by the team, for the community. 

At The Tradies, we’re passionate about backing community groups that make a difference. That’s why we’re proud to support Judo 43—a not-for-profit organisation using the power of Judo to help our young people build confidence, resilience, and friendships while standing strong against bullying.

Every Wednesday at 8:15am, something beautiful rolls through North Lyneham.
It’s called the Lyneham Bike Bus — a joyful, music-filled ride to school that’s bringing families, neighbours, and even local businesses together. What started as a simple idea over coffee has grown into a heartwarming community tradition, with kids gaining confidence, parents connecting, and bikes becoming a powerful symbol of togetherness. This isn’t just about the school run — it’s about reclaiming streets, building memories, and riding into the day with a smile.

Storytelling, strength, and a splash of purple.
On Saturday 29 March, The Dickson Tradies was filled with heart as local author Sarah Watts shared Marvellous Miles, her touching children’s book inspired by her son’s epilepsy journey. The event, part of the Make March Purple campaign, was more than just a reading—it was a moment of connection, courage, and community. With kids gathered close and carers leaning in, Sarah’s story reminded us all that the road may be challenging, but no one walks it alone.
