21.01.2022 Day 12: of what does Fusion Bendigo do? We seek out opportunities to help young people discover what life is like for someone else and to learn to be the kind of person who cares about injustice in our nation. So, some of our team and young people will be taking the journey to Uluru next year-April 2020. Please chat with us if this interests you :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=67&v=PE8rhcnBBtc

21.01.2022 Session 5 of the Families Course: Building Honest Relationships Honesty can really improve our family life! When it is safe to be real with each other, relationships grow. We want home to be a place where kids love to be, with people they can trust. https://familiescourse.com/courses/

20.01.2022 Session 7: Dealing with Conflict Unfortunately, quarrels and fights are a normal part of family life. There are ways to deal with conflict that will lessen the hurt and stress and give kids tools for life. https://familiescourse.com/courses/

19.01.2022 Day 15: of what we do Our volunteers work alongside young people who have a heart to help others their own age. This might be coming alongside them as they plan a daytrip, run a group activity for the first time or even a fundraising event to help their friends participate in a camp.

18.01.2022 Day 7: what does Fusion Bendigo do? Peer Leadership Training We believe that young people can make a real difference. You don't have to wait until you are older to make a positive contribution to our community. Every second Wednesday young people gather to be equipped in leading events, making social change and sharing their life in positive ways with other young people.

18.01.2022 DAY 3 of what does Fusion Bendigo do? PLAYGROUP On Tuesdays our fabulous volunteers Kim and Fee run a lovely playgroup for 0-6 year olds. It is warm, friendly and lots of fun. Playgroups are a great way for mums, dads and grandparents to connect and encourage each other.

16.01.2022 Wondering what the Families Course is all about? Parents are encouraged to reflect on their own parenting style and to build on the strengths they bring to their family life each day. The Families Course provides a wonderful opportunity for parents, grandparents or carers to stop and consider their own values, hopes and dreams for their family and families around them.

14.01.2022 The morning after the close of the climb, we gathered to watch the sun rise on a new era for Uluru and the Anangu people. We've been staying with friends Brooke... Prentis, DUSTY FEET MOB and others, to foster experiences and dialogues that will help make our work with Aboriginal communities and young people life-giving. We watched with a renewed sense of hope, that many years of footsteps on the rock will be washed away as Australia begins to heal. The significance of the closing of the climb is that it's a symbol of Aboriginal voices being heard. Leroy Beachley of Red Spaces and Anangu guide Shirley Reid took us on a Mala walk later in the morning, and Leroy reminded us that the Anangu approach of educating tourists not to climb had been working. Until the announcement of the closure, very few visitors to Uluru had chosen to climb, because they'd engaged with culture and listened to the wishes of Anangu. As we walked around Uuru, we noticed a sense of peace and resolution in the air. That continued as we joined many other tourists watching the sun set on this first day of a healing land.

13.01.2022 DAY 9: of what does Fusion Bendigo do? DAYTRIPS Every couple of months young people attend day trips where they are challenged to work together in teams, overcome obstacles and reflect on their life and the person they want to become.

13.01.2022 DAY 4: of what does Fusion Bendigo do? Drop offs to Youth Groups We all know that the more positive networks a young person has the more likely they are to THRIVE. Thats why every Friday when our Drop in Centre closes we offer a free shuttle service to any youth group in the Bendigo Region.

12.01.2022 Day 14: of what we do. Each year we get together with others who are serving in the community around Australia and share ideas, resources and come together to creatively look at social change that is desperately needed in Australia. It was pretty inspiring to see the impact that small groups of friends are having all over the country :)

This session presents practical ways to help children feel loved, heard, valued and reach their potential.

You will catch them doing art, playing pool, table tennis, UNO and challenging each other to be the best people they can be :) These guys were making the yard look pretty for the playgroup kids.

03.01.2022 We are forever grateful to our local community for supporting the work we do with young people to create a community where they have the supports around them to really Thrive. This is another opportunity to be a part of what is happening. Hope you can make it and can invite some friends along who are passionate about social change and supporting our neighbours.

01.01.2022 Have you signed up for the Families Course yet? Session 6 looks at Independence: Every child is on a journey to independence and it’s not always smooth! We can help by watching and listening carefully. Is their behaviour a testing of boundaries or a cry for help and support? https://familiescourse.com/courses/

01.01.2022 Do you know someone who would love to be a part of one of our Families Courses?
