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.

Help me support YouthCARE today

YouthCARE are raising money in May to help highlight the work of Chaplaincy in Western Australia. Chaplains come from many diverse backgrounds and bring with them they own unique skillsets. The Ridiculously Good campaign is helping us to engage with many people about the reasons we do what we do.

I have been uploading a photo - 1 for each day of May - in or of nature. This is my way of showing the gratitude for the 44 different schools I've worked in, over the 18.4 years of being a school Chaplain.

If you have had the experience of knowing a Chaplain, or working with a Chaplain, I would encourage you to check out their fund raising pages also. If you would like to support YouthCARE with this venture, please feel free to drop a donation on my page.
