Wear it Purple Day is coming up and to celebrate we are hosting an afternoon of purple arts & crafts PLUS a purple themed afternoon tea!
Wear your purple attire and come join us at the Valley Youth Space in Niddrie on Thursday August 25th for our Wear it Purple Day celebrations! The event will run from 4:30pm-6:00pm 💜💜💜
Wear it Purple Day aims to shine a light on the fact that we need to strive to create and foster supportive, safe, empowering and inclusive environments for rainbow young people.
Our A+ Valley Youth Team host Rainbow Valley which does just that by providing supports & activities for our young people who live, learn, play or spend time in Mooney Valley, are 12-25 and identify as part of the LGBTQIA+ community or are allies.
Rainbow Valley welcomes all cultures, faiths and backgrounds, including our First Nations Sistergirls and Brotherboys and takes place in a safe and private location.
We see you, we're here for you and we value you. You belong here. Today and every day.
For more information about Rainbow Valley or for referrals, dates, times and locations shoot us a message!

Today is International Youth Day! 🥳.🌏
❓Did you know that half of the people on our planet are 30 or younger, and this is expected to reach 57% by the end of 2030?!
🤝The theme this year is 'Intergenerational Solidarity: Creating a World for All Ages' which aims to amplify the message that action is needed across all generations to achieve positive change.
❤️On this day, our Valley Youth team want to celebrate and recognise all the amazing young people in our community who are passionately paving the way towards a better future.
