The 2021 NSW Youth Week Inner West theme, is the same as it is in the rest of NSW: “Together more than ever”. Each year, the event is organised by young people, for young people aged 12-24. Inner West Council is celebrating youth with a whole host of activities lined up from 6th to 24th April.

Where would we be without our supportive community sometimes appearing in the form of the Easter Bunny dropping off bags full of easter eggs.
Our young people were thrilled to bits and we were over the moon by the generosity of Zac Marsh and family of Watts Electrical. Thank you for digging deep and donating all these wonderful Easter goodies. It doesn’t get much better than this!
It is the kindness of community, families, businesses and individuals that make the lives of children and young people who have not had the best start in life a little bit better.
We thank Zac and his family, especially these two gorgeous girls for their beautiful gesture.
The Avalon Youth Hub in collaboration with Northern Beaches Council, Kalof and Totem Skateboarding hosted Best Trick Skate Jam at Mona Vale Skate Park for the NSW Youth Week 2021!
The free event aimed at those 10 and over and was a hoot. You can check out more here: www.totemskateboarding.com We are so lucky to have great facilities like the Mona Vale Skatepark.
Ever thought about becoming a Foster Carer? We are always looking for Burdekin Foster Carers and currently particularly in the Inner West/South East, Eastern Region of Sydney.
Being a Carer with The Burdekin Association is different from traditional foster care with lots of different options and huge support! Are you ready to make a difference to a young persons life?
Foster Carers are part of a support team that work with our young people (aged 9-18 years) enabling them towards independence.
We can even provide a home for you and the young person – rent free – or you can live in your own home with the young person. You must live in the Inner West/South East, Eastern region of Sydney for this particular call out.
For more information please contact Kerrie: 02 8976 1777 or carer@burdekin.org.au
The 3rd National Homelessness Forum 2021 takes place 27th – 29th April. The National Homelessness Forum is a hybrid event hosted both in-person from Perth and live-streamed. You can follow the event with hashtag #NationalHomelessnessForum2021.
Homelessness is increasing, in fact it has increased 13.7% in the past five years and it is expected to rise further as a result of the impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic. Given this fact, it has never been a more critical time for Australia to put homelessness at the top of the political agenda.
Take a look at the National Homelessness Form 2021 for more information a full list of key speakers, agenda, workshops and registration.
We acknowledge the Aboriginal people of the Cadigal and Gayamaygal Clans. We acknowledge the Country on which we live, work, and gather as being Aboriginal land.
We acknowledge the lands, waterways and skies that are connected to Aboriginal people. We honour them and pay our deepest respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.
We respect their rightful place within our communities, and we value their ancient cultural knowledge and practices.
We deeply respect that this will always be Aboriginal land and we will honour and follow the first peoples’ values in caring for the Country and for preserving their culture.
We deeply value that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are the oldest living culture in the world and we will continue to work with their peoples and communities to ensure their cultures endure and remain strong.
