Helping young people get back on track
In September this year I started as coordinator of the Townsville Stronger Communities Action Group. Along with seven dedicated staff, our role, in short, is to help get young people back on track to lead more productive lives.
Through this blog I’ll share with you some of the stories about the work we’re doing with the local community — our successes and our challenges too. Achieving real change and finding solutions for the problems we face in Townsville requires a joint effort — it’s not something government or the community can do alone.
One of things I’m passionate about is supporting our local community groups. Recently the action group and the Queensland Police Service held a fundraising trivia night at the Townsville Police Academy for the North Queensland Domestic Violence Resource Service. We raised $1200 for the service — what a great opportunity to provide support to this important community service.
