🔐 Geoff from our Reach Out And Relax (ROAR) program is getting locked up at the historic Gundagai Gaol — and he needs your help to bail him out.
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Australia is raising vital funds to help young people find guidance and build a brighter future. By donating to Geoff’s ‘bail fund’, you’ll be helping create life-changing mentorship opportunities — a much more powerful (and cost-effective) alternative to youth detention.
💪 As a youth worker and former teacher, Geoff sees every day how mentorship and support help young people build resilience, confidence, and hope for a better future.
“I believe young people need opportunities to thrive, especially when things get tough,” Geoff said.

🖍️ Our little learners have been busy at Intereach Family Day Care this week, honouring ANZAC Day in thoughtful and creative ways.
🍪 From baking golden Anzac biscuits, to reading gentle stories about courage and mateship, making bright red poppies, and colouring in meaningful designs — our educators created beautiful learning opportunities that helped children understand the spirit of Anzac Day in age-appropriate ways.
🌿 These activities reflect our commitment to building #StrongConnectedCommunities — remembering our history, supporting one another, and honouring the past with compassion.

Wonderful to see the youngsters honouring the ANZAC legend
🍪 Our Echuca office marked ANZAC Day in the sweetest way — with our second annual Anzac Biscuit Bake-Off!
🧑🍳 Four brilliant bakers whipped up delicious delights using the humble Anzac biscuit — from ripple cake and cheesecakes to ice-cream sandwiches.
🥇 After much deliberation (and some second servings) by fellow judges, Early Childhood Coordinator Abbey was crowned the 2025 winner with her Caramilk Anzac cheesecake!
👇 Find her recipe in the comments.
🥀 While we had fun taste-testing, we also took time to reflect on the meaning of ANZAC Day — honouring those who served and sacrificed.
