24.01.2022 Do you know a girl who is currently in Year 8 who could benefit? Applications are now open until the 23rd of September for $20,000 scholarships for girls in public high schools who are in need. They include the tools and resources needed for students to reach their academic potential and build pathways to further education and fulfilling careers. If you are a teacher at a local public high school or perhaps you know a girl who could benefit please tell them about it. Especially during these tough times these programs are more valuable than ever. Applications are online - please share http://bit.ly/2021Scholarshipapplications

17.01.2022 "I dont know who needs to hear this right now but one year before Alexandria Ocasio Cortez became the youngest ever congresswoman, she was working two jobs to ...support her mum, at a charity and as a bartender in the Bronx. She has been trolled for being working-class and not having enough experience, and she has openly admitted to regularly battling imposter syndrome in politics. She was the underdog that the media didnt take seriously until she won and she is absolutely the type of woman we celebrate and work towards. And if you need any more reasons to love her, read this... Women like me arent supposed to run for office. I wasnt born into a rich or powerful family. My dad died when I was a teenager. Ive waitressed my way through hard times and dealt with disappointment. The dress Im wearing is from a thrift shop. The ring on my hand is my mothers - a reminder of every floor shes mopped so that her daughter could have a chance. So the next time you question if you can do something lets just remind ourselves of everything AOC stands for." See more

12.01.2022 They are here!!! Little did the Startrack Delivery woman realise that the contents of the parcels she wheeled up my drive have the the potential to change 400+ lives.

Our club has accepted the challenge to assemble 200 of the new environmentally friendly earth kits through the Kits at Home initiative. Our intention is to hold 5 house parties to make this happen.
