Building on the success of last years event, this years was similar and bigger!

This years event saw the addition of extra services that we partner with as well as a few that were involved in last years event, all promoting the great work they do and engaging community with fun activities. We used the same great location as last year - right outside the centre in the Riverway parklands which has plenty of space and shade on this hot Saturday in October. After successfully acquiring two different grants, the Youth and Community Engagement team were able to build on last years event with the addition of a 'Silent Disco' activity, a youth band rocking out on stage, a fantastic dance performance from a local First Nations Youth dance troupe, free coffee and there were some great prizes to give away as well! Attendance for the day nearly doubled last years numbers and it was great to see so many people coming along and finding out about our service for the first time. All in all we received great feedback from everyone involved and it's exciting to think about what next years event might look like. Biggest thanks to everyone who participated - see you next year!
