Community capacity building
Supporting the wider community
One of our main goals is to be able to share our knowledge and expertise with the community, so that we can better identify and support people in order that they don’t find themselves falling through the gaps.
Bottle Wise

Every year we deliver community forums and education sessions aimed at schools, young people, parents and teachers (over 1,000 young people and community members attended this year) with a focus on young people in grade 6,7,8 and 9 young people.
