Still waiting to be pinched and woken up from the

Still waiting to be pinched and woken up from the dream that was our inaugural Long Lunch... These pics show my favourite two moments of the day:

1. Corey White delivering his heart-wrenching address, that fuelled all of us to do all that we can to provide justice for any young person experiencing neglect, abuse or poverty.
2. The moment we realised that we had a sold out room, had raised just shy of $40,000, and signed up 24 Roady van sponsors AND sold out of fundraising wine!

All of a sudden a dream became reality. Our van is officially a community-owned asset.

Thank you to all those that attended. Thank you to all those that donated.

Welcome Roady’s!

Also thanks to our amazing event sponsors:

Can’t wait for this day again next year!

Jess was just 19 when her mum died. She couldn’t

Jess was just 19 when her mum died. She couldn’t afford the rent or the bills.. and as a result became homeless..
“I got into the wrong crowd hey.. I thought they were my friends. I learnt a lot, made a s*!! load of mistakes but I didn’t have anyone but them at the time”.
Jess reached out to us. We are still ensuring she has somewhere safe to stay, but we are in the process of getting her long term accommodation. She is currently studying and also has a part time job. Jess, we are so proud of what you have achieved. Thank-you for choosing us to support you on this journey ✨ #yourlifeyourjourney #rawpotential #yourpotential #amazing
