A huge thank you to Mex&Co. for their incredible generosity in donating meals and treats each month for the youth at our Perth Youth Centre.

The first Thursday of every month during our 10-month after-school program has become one of the most anticipated nights for our youth, thanks to the amazing food and kindness from this wonderful local restaurant.

We are so grateful for your support, your generosity, and the care you show our young people. Thank you for helping make our youth centre feel even more welcoming and special each month.

We’re excited to launch Sleep Skills 101, a gentle, supportive program designed to help you restore your sleep from the inside out.

Together, we’ll explore how sleep works, what gets in the way, and how small, meaningful changes can transform your nights. Expect grounding practices, mindful routines, and practical tools you can weave into your daily life.

Better sleep isn’t a luxury, it’s a foundation for your health, mood, and energy. Join us as we create space for rest, recovery, and renewal.

Your body will thank you in the morning!
