Business Charity Luncheon supporting headspace Geelong

3rd MAY 2019 at GMHBA Stadium, Presidents Room

We invite you to the 3rd headspace Geelong business charity luncheon raising funds for the headspace Geelong “Social Inclusion Program 2019” of which BCYF is the lead agency.

The Rotary Club of Belmont and its Community Partners are seeking your support to “make a difference” to the health and wellbeing of young people in Geelong (12-25 years old).

Headspace Geelong is the busiest centre across Australia and delivered 11,428 occasions of service to some 4,000 active clients. Unfortunately the demands for help far exceed the resources.

The funds raised at the 2017 and 2018 events has allowed the headspace Geelong Social Inclusion Program to deliver the following to our Geelong youth:

• over 300 individual mentoring sessions from an engagement and assessment clinician; and

• over 60 community based group sessions.

We continue to support the headspace Social Inclusion Project because:

• Current core funding does not allow assertive follow up of disengaged young people;

• It targets the disengaged = not engaged in school or study;

• High risk of suicide – leading cause of death in the age group and recent suicides of males within our region;

• There is a high risk of poor outcomes without intervention;

• Creates a positive environment and experiences with a positive role model for young people that may not have that opportunity in their life;

• A reduction in social isolation and psychological distress levels;

• Increase in social connectedness to community and positive experiences;

• Increase communication skills and confidence.

Rotary Club of Belmont and its Community Partners plan to make the Business Charity Luncheon reflective of the serious issues, but a balance of entertaining speakers and a focus on having a good time for all.

You can support this event through event sponsorship package, table sponsorship package and/or auction item donations. All contributions will directly help improve the health and wellbeing of our Geelong disengaged youth.

Further details and ticket order form are attached.
