18.01.2022 Stop DROP (in) Roll with the good times Were introducing YTime to HQ! What does that mean?... The cool stuff you love like Hoops and Jams, live gigs and art will still be here along with way more: a safe space to drop in to hang out with mates, or chat to our friendly youth workers about whats going on in your life.

18.01.2022 Now for some good news... Did you know that 78% of young people in WA don't use illicit drugs? our pals at Drug Aware found that young people tend to over-estimate the number of other young people who use drugs and who think this behaviour is acceptable and normal. The 78% Dont Use campaign aims to challenge these misconceptions among young people to aid in influencing their decisions to not initiate or continue drug use just because they think everyone else is doing it. This is a great outcome and are looking forward to seeing illicit drug use in young people drop each year!

17.01.2022 Another great day of painting at HQ on Saturday as apart of our monthly urban art workshop DRIP.
