To say that this year is different is an understatement.  Perhaps this period of lockdown gives us the opportunity to reflect on how important it is to be able to spend time with friends and family and to feel confident that we can draw financial support, when we need it most, from government assistance programs.

Since the beginning of the year, StreetWork has been tested in a way that we have never experienced before. We are surviving and will eventually return to some normality.  Our Youth Case Workers have told us about the extraordinary challenge this period has been for our at risk young people.  During lockdown their issues have multiplied in their intensity and we know that this  will have serious, ongoing consequences for their health, safety and well being over the next 12 months. 

StreetWork Supporters’ Breakfast – Saturday, 27 June at 8am

At this time of the year, StreetWork usually stages our Supporters’ Breakfast.  With your breakfast attendance and tax deductible donation we are able to continue caring for the young people in our KickStart Mentoring Program.  However, this year we can’t hold our Supporters’ Breakfast in person and we have had to think differently!  So, we are inviting you and your guests to attend the event virtually, through ZOOM.  It’s easy to join us.  Simply organise your hot beverage and breakfast roll and then click on this link https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88228656916.

We’ll do the rest – our Youth Case Workers will share some stories; we’ll let you know how we’ve pivoted in response to COVID-19; and we’ve also arranged for a guest speaker, Dr Jodie Lowinger to join us. If you would like some help on how to join this meeting via your computer, or wish to make a donation by phone please call us on 02 9419 7559. Let’s all work together to help our at-risk young people through this very difficult year.
