First time Roughtober participant, Greg Colby, is sleeping rough in memory of his brother Les, who was a much beloved patron of Rough Edges for many years, until he passed away in July this year.
Travelling from my work this week, I was struck by this image. The owner of these items (not in the photograph) was travelling on the same train with me. I observed him sitting away from his goods, which I assumed were all his material possessions. He was sitting on a bench, about 3-4 metres from the trolley.
The Rough Edges team is taking a group of like-minded supporters to Perisher, NSW to conquer three of Australia’s tallest mountains over 18 kilometres, in one day. All while raising funds to help Rough Edges and the Community Assistance and Partnership Program. Be part of our first Inspired Adventure and raise much needed funds for Rough Edges.
Join the team at Rough Edges! Our volunteers are the lifeblood of our organisation, and the front line and face of our service. Our next information night is Thursday 27th April - join us to find out about how you can get involved.
Susie has been volunteering at Rough Edges for about seven years. She had been looking for somewhere to volunteer where she could really feel that she was helping.
Earlier in December we gathered our volunteers to celebrate their terrific work - work not only throughout the year, but through the past three years of covid-affected circumstances.
