We`re super excited to welcome her to the team as our new Community Engagement Coordinator in NSW!
Elizabeth would describe herself as friendly, passionate and curious. Her ultimate Dream Experience is to spend the day with a zookeeper working with the elephants π
Elizabeth is excited to start working in the community to continue raising awareness, developing new partnerships, and broadening support for Young Carers. Watch this space π...
Today, we celebrate the incredible strength, resilience, and compassion of women everywhere β especially within our Little Dreamers community. From our dedicated staff and volunteers to our amazing supporters and donors, and, of course, our Young Carers, we recognise and honour the invaluable contributions of women each and every day.
As we mark this day, we also want to shine a light on an important conversation: the disproportionate representation of females in carer statistics. It`s super relevant to this year`s United Nations theme: "Invest in women: Accelerate progress". By investing in and supporting women of all ages, we can spark change and speed the transition towards a healthier, safer, and more equal world for all.
Here`s to the incredible women who inspire us every day! πͺ
We thought weβd throw it all the way back to our Big Dreamers 2020 cohort π
Despite the challenges of a global pandemic, this incredible group bonded like family, and when we reunited for our final retreat, it was nothing short of EPIC! π
Why are we sharing this now? Because weβre gearing up for our next Big Dreamers program starting this April in VIC, and we want YOU to be part of the magic! π

Young Carer Scholarship applications are now open! π£
Presented by @carersvictoria, scholarships of up to $500 are awarded to Young Carers to help them participate in school or community-based activities that can enhance skills, boost educational achievements, and empower them to fully engage in the community π
If you (or someone you know!) is a secondary school student who supports a mother, father, sibling or grandparent because of a disability, mental illness, chronic health issue or aging care needs - apply now or spread the word!
We are so honoured to be part of Bespoken`s incredible new `Be-Causes` initiative.
The way the program works is simple - each time a new client joins their agency, they will make a one-off donation to whichever cause the client nominates as their beneficiary.
We`ve had loads of fun collaborating with the team to make this possible, and we`re so excited to follow the journey of this program!
Thank you to Bespoken for putting humans at the centre of your work β€οΈ
