Reaching Out to the Future

The Villawood Foundation is donating $250,000 to The REACH Foundation to help provide young Australians a better start in life.

Foundation ambassador Jacqui Felgate oversaw the official handover at REACH’s Jolimont base in Melbourne this week together with close to 100 staff, facilitators and supporters.

Facilitator Josh Robinson provided a compelling hands-on account of how REACH’s workshops engage with youth while Villawood’s Rory Costelloe and REACH chairman Fergus Watts outlined the over-arching community focus of both foundations.

The $250,000 will go to REACH’s crew training program for staff who support tens of thousands of young people deal with life’s challenges while trying to reach their full potential.
