Peter and Patrich's Tour of Tassie is now proudly supporting Bravehearts


 
Bravehearts Inc. is Australia’s only children’s charity holistically dedicated to the issue of child sexual assault. Bravehearts offers comprehensive counselling and education for children and young people and parental support for non-offending family members, along with advocacy for adult survivors. Bravehearts also invests in extensive training and research strategies in order to combat the complex issues associated with child sexual assault. As statistics show that 1 in 5 children are sexually assaulted before the age of 18, it is vital that we work together to educate, empower and protect Australia’s children.

An example of how $1000 raised can make a difference is: 

  • 100 children gain access to the live Ditto Show to learn about personal safety; or 
  • 40 Crisis calls are professionally responded to; or 
  • 20 children receive a counselling session; or
  • a SADS (Sexual Assault Disclosure Scheme) participant discloses to Police resulting in the direct cessation of offending against another child; or 
  • any combination of these life changing interventions.

I hope that you will support us in our venture to raise funds for Bravehearts Inc. to help them continue delivering their crucial programs and services to the community.

Thank you for your time and consideration and I am looking forward to hearing from you soon. Feel free to contact me should you have any further questions or need more information.
