I wanted to personally say Thank You.
Because of your generosity, we have raised an incredible $80,000 in our very first EOFY Appeal.
But today isn’t just about this campaign.
It’s about recognising the difference you’ve made over time.
A little while ago, one of our young people, Hannah* arrived at mentoring with her shoulders up around her ears—quiet, guarded, not quite sure if she belonged.
A few weeks later, Hannah was the first one through the door. She started asking to help set up the game. She laughed. She talked about school. She tried something new and didn’t shut down when it got hard.
That shift doesn’t happen by accident.
It happens because people like you continue believing that every young person deserves someone who shows up consistently.
When we launched our EOFY Appeal, our goal was to raise $40,000. Thanks to our incredible community, we reached that target. The incredible matched funding from the AOJ Woods Foundation and another generous supporter helped turn that into an extraordinary $80,000.
As a charity that receives no government funding, your ongoing support means everything. It allows us to continue investing in trained staff, safe spaces and the relationships that create lasting change.
Thank you for continuing to walk alongside us.
We’re so grateful that you’ve chosen to be part of the 12 Buckets story, and we look forward to sharing the next chapter with you.
With much gratitude,
Larissa Muir
CEO – 12 Buckets
