From making bruschetta and vegetable and chicken wraps to baking and decorating their own cakes, it was a fun and engaging cooking program. See you at the next one! (Images published with informed consent from all individuals featured.)

STAY will always be on the frontline, advocating for safe and stable housing for young people and working to address youth homelessness because every young person deserves a place to call home.

Collaboration in action. In line with this year's Homelessness Week theme, ‘Strong Workforce, Stronger Communities’, local services came together to deliver the pilot Homelessness Hub. Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to making the event a success.

Thank you, Kirrilee Warr MLA, for shining a light on this important issue. STAY will continue to advocate for every young person's right to safe and stable accommodation.

Recently, I caught up with Lynette from STAY
ahead of Homelessness Week (1st August-9th August) to hear more about the important work being done to support young people experiencing or at risk of homelessness in our region.

Organisations like STAY provide vital support, early intervention and hope when it's needed most. They know the challenges on the ground and the difference that timely support can make.

I'll continue working with local stakeholders to advocate for the services our community needs and to ask the Cook Labor Government to invest in frontline organisations like STAY, so they can continue supporting vulnerable young people.

Everyone deserves a safe place to call home.

Today, we celebrate two years of supporting vulnerable young people in our community through our STAY Hub outreach program, ensuring there's no wrong door to accessing support. A huge thank you to the 115 young people who have trusted us to be part of their journey. If you know a young person who needs support, reach out to our friendly team - Evy, Natasha, and Sammy - on 0456903743 or 0487033544 or reach out via [email protected].
