Albany Gardens Supports Youth Focus

Youth Focus is a not for profit organisation working with young people, aged 12 to 18 years, who are showing early signs associated with suicide, depression and self-harm. Youth Focus relies on the generosity of the Western Australian community to ensure the sustainability and continuation of their services to an ever increasing number of young people and their families.

The Hawaiian Ride for Youth challenge began in 2003 when a small group of social bike riders from the Perth business community decided to combine their resources and raise funds for Youth Focus.

Riders test their endurance in a 710km ride over five days from Albany to Perth. The Hawaiian Ride for Youth travels through the towns of Albany, Denmark, Walpole, Pemberton, Margaret River, Busselton, Bunbury, Pinjarra and Mandurah visiting schools along the way to raise awareness of youth suicide, depression and self-harm.

Albany Gardens Holiday Resort supported the Perrott Painting RFY Team by donated 3 night’s accommodation in a deluxe unit as an auction item at a recent fundraising luncheon held at Subiaco Oval. Funds raised at the luncheon were donated to Youth Focus.

Albany Gardens & The Community

Albany Gardens Holiday Resort hosts a weekly fundraising dinner, open to resort visitors, village residence and the local community.

 For a small fee of $8.00, guests can feast on a two course dinner including a main meal and dessert.

 The weekly dinners are held every Tuesday at 6pm in the BBQ area. Funds raised support charities including Relay For Life, an orphanage in Thailand and the Royal Flying Doctor Service.

 To date, over $13,000 has been raised for Relay For Life and $3,100 raised for an orphanage in Thailand. Funds donated to the orphanage assist to provide new playground equipment and English lessons for the children.

 Dinner guests are required to bring their own cutlery and crockery.

 The fundraising dinners operate from mid September until mid May.

 Weekly morning teas are also held every Thursday morning at 10am in the BBQ area. Guests are invited to make a donation to support the chosen charities.
