Major sponsors of the CASE Bike Ride to Canberra, were presented with a thank you gift of framed riders jumpers.
Peter (DY) Dwyer thanked those sponsors, Westpac Bank, Auscott, The Riv Hotel and Holroyd Council, saying that
“Without sponsors, we cant do anything. What a great effort from our sponsors.” The ride, which took place in April
2014, raised over $15,000 which will be put to good use for a ‘Youth Weekend’ in 2015. The event is in the early
planning stages and CASE members are working hard to ensure a successful event.
Mayor of Holroyd, Nasr Kafrouni thanked CASE for their work. “It’s not just for Hay. You are doing a good thing for the
cause - preventing suicide across Australia.”
DY once again thanked all the riders for their hard work
and perseverance on the ride. “It’s not a five minute job,”
said Mr. Dwyer, “Riders practiced for months for this ride.”
Headspace Update
Community Action 4 Suicide Elimination
A HAY INITIATIVE
The CASE committee are getting excited, as the decision
for the allocation of funding for the next Headspace
Centres is almost upon us. This is expected late July,
early August. CASE have been working very closely with
the Headspace4Griffith committee, to ensure we provide
them with as much support as we can including lobbying
key politicians and influential members of the community.
Of course the benefit to Hay if Griffith gains approval is
that an Outreach centre will be established, to support the
youth in our community. This is an exciting opportunity for
our youth and CASE will work very closely with the
headspace4Griffith committee, to ensure we provide
ongoing and continuing support. Remember Headspace
is the National Youth Mental Health Foundation, and they
are focussing on helping young people who are going
through a tough time . Members of CASE have had the
opportunity to visit a number of Headspace Centres and
found them to be very professional and totally focussed
on our youth. Below is the link the Headspace website if
you would like to know more. Let's keep our fingers
crossed. From the CASE facebook page.
