25.01.2022 On Saturday 23rd January Triple J has nominated Lifeline as its charity partner for 2021. Even the healthiest of us have experienced a struggle with our mental health, for some this struggle runs much deeper. Studies show that music can play a vital role improving and positively influencing our mental health and find that opening up a discussion with our peers can reduce symptoms of depression. We are currently putting together a playlist and ask you to share you favourite up...lifting songs. Add your favourite up lifting song below in the comments will then be downloaded onto our very own Lifeline Spotify Playlist. If you are joining in the countdown share how you are connecting to your friends and family by tagging #lifelinedirect #lifelinedirect #musicheals #hottest100 #triplejhottest100 #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealth #lifeline

23.01.2022 ****Volunteers Needed**** Lifeline volunteers are crucial to our organisation. They are an invaluable component of our team locally, and play an essential role in delivery of support services, retail offerings and fundraising activities. Without our volunteers we would not be able to continue our crisis support and suicide prevention services locally. If you are interested in becoming a Lifeline volunteer we would love to hear from you. For more information fill in the form @ https://www.jotform.com/form/210068811303040 and we will be in contact.

16.01.2022 FERNLEIGH 15 GOES VIRTUAL

16.01.2022 In 2019 Adrian Byrnes joined his cousin on a challenge to walk & exercise every morning before the sun rose during summer. On the last day of summer, he decided to keep going through winter. After 10 straight days of taking photographs down at Shelly Beach pre-dawn he decided to explore further and take photos at different beaches on the Central Coast. He soon discovered how blessed we are with our magnificent coastline. This is where the story of the calendars began... Due ...to the success of the calendars in 2020, which saw over $3,000 donated to Lifeline, Adrian repeated the exercise this winter (2020). Adrian kindly donates all proceeds from the calendars to Lifeline Central Coast to support local suicide prevention services. To purchase a 2021 Winter Sunrise Calendar visit https://www.lifelinedirect.org.au/2021calendar but be quick as there are limited numbers.
