In the recent YouthSpeak survey, one of the major requests from young people was for more activities, events and music festivals for young people. We made this happen for this community’s young people!

We partnered with a vast array of partners and community stakeholders to deliver a jam packed afternoon of fun for the community, featuring local music, interactive activity stalls, free food and of course planting over 300 trees to kickstart a 3 year riparian planting project.

"What a fantastic all community event you brought together. It was such a great day. My daughter certainly had a blast with her friends. There was lots of variety- something for everyone!! Couldn't have asked for better weather too. Well done!! "
