This September we celebrated 10 years of Y-House! This September we celebrated 10 years of Y-House! We haven’t been able to celebrate exactly the way we would have liked (or at all), but we are grateful to reach this special milestone. This 10th year has brought with it an incredible amount of change and development at Y-House and we are proud of the ongoing impact we have been able to achieve especially in such challenging times. Whilst it has been a tough yeah for everyone, we acknowledge it has been especially tough for the 6048 young Australians living in aged care. We’re feeling a bit nostalgic looking back on 10 years! We would like to say a BIG thank you to all of our wonderful supporters who have over the years attended events, donated to campaigns and spread the Y-House message. Thanks also go out to our wonderful program team who have risen to the challenge of the last 6 months, our ever committed senior and junior committees and all of our fabulous volunteers. Here’s to the next 10!!! #YHouse #10years

[Link in Bio] In the current climate, one of the b [Link in Bio] In the current climate, one of the biggest issues we are facing in keeping people connected is limited access to technology. A large number of the young people living in aged care that we work with don’t have access to their own electronic device to access support and stay in touch. In fact, a number of the young people we work with have to wait to use a communal computer at their aged care facility, which is not only time consuming but not ideal for good hygiene practices. We want to provide young people in these situations with the critical technology they need to be able to access ongoing support, throughout lockdown and beyond. Please help us help young people living in aged care. Any amount helps! Donations $2 and over are also tax deductible!
