Latitude: Directions for Young People Creating a sense of community connection for young people living in Hobson's Bay and Moonee Valley i

"Latitude provides services to help young people in Melbourne's West experiencing or at risk of homelessness. Latitude also develops and delivers programs independently and with partners to assist disconnected young people in gaining the skills they need to contribute and participate positively in their community. We connect vulnerable young people with community supports, returning to education,

seeking employment, and more. Latitude is a point of contact for fatigued and exhausted young people where anger and frustration at the world can be expressed and explored safely and without judgement."

What a fabulous way to start our day with this wonderful donation from Commonwealth Bank Altona! Branch Manager Jeffrey let us know that it was our incredible community that said yes support Latitude with a donation. Heart warming stuff, we are here for our community and we can't do what we do without your support. Thank you for having such faith in us. And Commonwealth Bank, well you rock!

Great day out in foggy Geelong! Like it was SUPER foggy. Didn't stop our Tigers from playing a fabulous game in true Reclink spirit with Geelong Power Cats, we were evenly matched...but Tigers straight kicking...well you know...not about winning...but yeah..
Grrrr šŸÆšŸÆšŸÆ
Should also say how GOOD it was to bump into a former... Maybe BayWester...yes BEFORE we became Latitude..Ella. Ella once pulled on the Power jumper for the Wynbay Power... good times and great to see Ella still providing amazing support... always loved ya work EllašŸ˜šŸ˜ always apart of our storyšŸ˜

With the heaviest of hearts Latitude mourns the loss of our Sarah. We have no words to truly express the joy that is Sarah. Sarah has been at the heart of Latitude supporting young people to be their absolute best. As a member of our Team well words donā€™t really capture what Sarah has been to us all. Loud, cheeky, always up for a bit of fun and a massive support to every member of our little Team. When needed Sarah was always there. Whoā€™s going to order the gravy now?
We send our love to Lily, Mel and Viv.
As a mark of respect Latitude will be closed tomorrow as we try to comprehend a Latitude without Sarah.

Latitude, thatā€™s ALL of us, Team past and present, Committee and most importantly our young people some of whom are now WAY past the young phase, send our warmest thoughts to Sharon and family upon the passing of Kim.
Kim has been a true friend to Latitude, never said no to the red suit though Iā€™m sure sometimes he wanted to. Like that time you did your knee getting in the boat to enter Logans Reserve, or the truck rig that had an internal disco and very quick driver! Always willing to give it a go. Not to mention the number of times we would ring in need of that JP stamp, Kim never said no.
Thank you Kim for making so many of our young people smile, you gave them joy & time, a massive gift. Boots way to big to fill.
Vale Kim.

It's a Bunnings bonanza!!!! Check out these FANTASTIC sleeping bags. Huge shout out to our local Bunnings Warehouse Australia Altona for these King Single (who knew that was a thing?!) sleeping bags. We have been purchasing sleeping bags so we can't thank you enough. Sad that this is what we have come to but very grateful to have Bunnings support. Thanks Maria!!!!

No one can deny itā€™s been a super tough year and many will not find this Christmas joyful. We all play apart in making our world good and it doesnā€™t take much to brighten someoneā€™s day. So this Christmas be generous with your smiles and greetings, you are making a difference.
The Latitude Team have spread the joy amongst many today and the level of joy they are feelingā€¦well little off the charts. Our thanks to all of those amazing people who enable us to spread this joy, too many to name (thankfully) but a special Christmas shout out to our true believers, Androulla, Denise & Art & Siema, you make it possible for us.
Itā€™s now time for the Latitude Team to join our tribes and continue the spreading of joy. Merry Christmas to all, be safe, be good(ish) and most of all be kind to each other.
