Join us for a night of entertainment, hosted by Australian comedian Julian Morrow (The Chaser), as together, we continue to raise essential funds to help vulnerable young people and their communities to see a positive future.

We are proud to officially launch the newly renovated community space at Poet’s Corner, Redfern! Poet’s Corner has become a practical space that the community helped to build — the community have reclaimed the space and will enjoy using it now and into the future.

"I have worked for Weave for 35 years, a very long time, and feel that now is the right time to complete this chapter of my work and hand over to others. As the founder, I feel I have done my job to help the service grow and prosper and it couldn’t be in better shape for a very fruitful and exciting future."

Bushwalking was a new program that we tried in Term 4 and the kids really ran with it. It’s pretty special to be outdoors and it is amazing how many special spots and walks there are around the local area.

Kool Kids had the pleasure of taking six Switch leaders to the 15-year Clovelly Community Bendigo Bank Gala night celebration.

With the buses packed full of Kool Kids, Switch Leaders and their camp gear, the Weave Kool Kids surfing crew headed down south for our annual Salt Water Dreaming Surf Camp.

It's that time of year where we are gearing up for our Annual Mad Pride Youth Event held during Mental Health Month in October. This event aims to bring the community together to celebrate the creative talents of young people and smashing the stereotypes often associated with mental health experiences.

This year we thought we try out a new program called Go4Fun – it’s a 9-week program and it’s about eating healthy, getting families into healthy routines and doing more physical activities instead of staying indoors on electronic devices.

Once again we have come to a great end of term with the Namatjira kids! It was a good 8 weeks with these little ones, they have all had such great energy on the porgram and are all very smart kids.

This term, we were lucky enough to collaborate with Sydney’s amazing Belvoir Theatre to deliver a super fun acting program for our Kool Kids.

We have come to a great end of term with our Hip Hop program with the incredible music artists Bheki and Vulli of True Vibenation; the kids absolutely enjoyed doing this program with the brothers.

Thanks to the amazing generosity of a small group of donors, Weave’s Driving Change program received two new cars on July 12, 2017! This was all coordinated by one of the Driving Change volunteers, Chris Howard, who fundraised among a group of his friends.
