Kikkert Kicks 4 a Cause

Boys in Australia are twice as likely to drop out of school, nine times more likely to be in detention, and three times more likely to commit self-harm than their female counterparts. Menslink are dedicated to meeting the specific needs of young men and their families in our community. They run education sessions, offer short-term counselling, and provide mentoring support from positive male role models.

In the Assembly today, I publicly thanked Menslink CEO Martin Fisk and all who work alongside him to support vulnerable young men. I also thanked Matt, Adam, Dave, Anthony, and Paul – the men behind this year’s Kick2Kick4aCause fundraiser to support Menslink. I attended the launch last Saturday and was back at 6am Sunday to take my turn kicking the ball. I am happy to report that the fundraising goal of $100,000 was reached!
