Christmas is over , but we hope its spirit remains in all of us throughout 2022 and that together, we can place generosity, kindness and joy at the forefront of our endeavors to support disadvantaged young people this year.
This week our CREWY team took Tim* and Ella* to Werribee Zoo for a deluxe safari which gave them a chance to get close up and personal with rhinos, giraffes and zebras. They had a brilliant time.
At Concern Australia the lead up to Christmas is a time to pause and reflect on some of the young people we serve, knowing how overwhelmingly taxing 2021 has been for many of them, particularly those who are experiencing homelessness and who’s Christmas wish is simply a place to sleep that’s safe and warm.
We sat down this week to speak with RMIT Work Integrated Learning Teacher Trevor Bailey, who has been working closely with the Hand Brake Turn (HBT) team since we forged a partnership with them in 2018.
Our last virtual AGM was held yesterday and we can't be happier. Proud of celebrate 50 years of impact supporting young people and children.

As more families find themselves in stressful situations as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the risks to children grow. The 30th anniversary of Child Protection Week is an important reminder about protecting children in these unstable times.
