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.

Flowers Growing… what will they become?

A thread of flowers

Tuesday 12th May
I hope to crochet 135 little flowers to represent the children I serve as Chaplain each week in two boutique primary schools in the Great Southern. 
Flowers, like children are all unique and wonderful. The can be celebrated in their singular beauty, a colourful bouquet or together as a wild meadow!
Sponsoring me, contributes to the incredible connection chaplains create across communities in Western Australia 🌸
