Support my challenge to care for young Western Australians

Every school day across Western Australia, 250,000 students walk into a school where someone knows their name. In 2025, YouthCARE chaplains and volunteers showed up in 600 school communities and 38 sporting clubs across the state, from the Kimberley to the Great Southern.

They sat with students navigating hard things, served nearly 700,000 meals through Breakfast Club, delivered 30,760 wellbeing sessions, and supported more than 10,000 athletes and their families on the sidelines.

260,000 people. One consistent presence. Ridiculously good care.

Your support helps provide ridiculously good care to young Western Australians.

What if one small action from you could change a young person's life?

What if one small action from you could change a young person’s life?

Right now, more students than ever are struggling with their mental health and wellbeing and the need for support keeps growing.

This May, I’m taking on a challenge, swimming 54 x 50m every week to recognise 54 years of YouthCARE and help support the next 54.

I’m doing this to raise awareness and funds for YouthCARE, who have been supporting young people and families across WA for over five decades.

I can’t do this alone.

If you’ve ever wanted to make a real, lasting difference – THIS IS YOUR MOMENT.

Join me. Support the cause. Help ensure every young person feels seen, supported, and valued.

Together we can make a difference💙
