Chances House will score a $1m injection of funding no matter which party wins the Queensland election.

Kayleigh engages in a discussion with Namarca Corowa and Heath Paton on their podcast, Bomma Country, where she provides valuable insights into local homelessness and shares her journey to achieving her current position.

In an attempt to help improve the life of a gentleman in his 60s who has struggled on the streets for the past nine months, Chances House (Australian Street Aid Project) reached out to the community for extra support.

If you are doing it tough, don’t be ashamed to reach out to local services before things become critical.

The outfits were stunning but the causes even better as Mackay residents stepped up $80k for charity and homeless support to help feed and house the needy.

Mackay’s community leaders, business owners, freshly minted councillors and volunteers gathered on Endeavour St for the grand opening of the Australian Street Aid Project’s latest triumph.

A community leader in the fight against homelessness is passing the baton to the next generation of leadership, after achieving so much for our region.

The new building also provides the opportunity for individuals to access support and to connect with local organisations.

The new welcoming building includes lockers for individuals to securely store their valuables, allowing the building to be a daytime support hub for individuals in the region with no fixed abode.

Founding the Australian Street Aid Project in 2018, Mrs Brewster teamed up with the youngster to scrape together enough funds to open Chances Cafe, a safe place where people experiencing homelessness can find employment or a meal to eat, and access medical treatment.

Thank you Kayleigh Brewster for seeing a need to do something and having the get up and go to do something about it.
