Reflecting on an incredible 2025

Reflecting on an incredible 2025 and stepping into 2026 feeling proud. ✨ @happymindfulsouls

Emma and Jayson generously volunteered their time supporting the HMS teams through community sport and wellbeing education. While working full-time as Youth Support Coordinators in schools, they also gave up their own time to deliver programs and interventions in schools and throughout the community.

In 2025, we supported 180 local young people across 9 Touch Football teams and 4 OZTAG teams, our biggest year yet! Thank you to our players, coaches, families, community, and local businesses for helping us create positive pathways for youth.

A huge thank you to our volunteering coaches, managers, family supporters for giving your time, prioritising wellbeing and community over winning, and connecting the next generation through sport.

Thank you to the Community-based Crime Action Grants from Youth Justice Queensland for supporting our wellbeing programs and interventions in schools and the community.

We are proud to welcome @westfieldcoomera as a new partner heading into 2026. Thank you for believing in our work, supporting local young people and investing in our community. A special thank you to Brooke and Moss for this opportunity.
