Funding update 2. Youth Development Fund
Funding update 2. Youth Development Fund
Each financial year, the Council's community boards set aside an amount of money to fund young people in their local community.
Under this scheme, the community boards consider applications for a variety of activities including educational studies, cultural studies, representation at events (sporting, cultural and community), recreation development, capacity building etc.
In the financial year which closed on 30 June 2024, we funded several individuals and groups, for participation in many diverse activities. The funded amount ranged from $100 (individual) to $1000 (team). The sheer variety of the activities our youth participate in is mind-blowing. Please have a look yourself:

Addictive Eaters Anonymous
What is Addictive Eaters Anonymous?
Addictive Eaters Anonymous (AEA) is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from addictive eating.
AEA has members who have suffered from anorexia, bulimia and binge eating. Many have been underweight, overweight or obese; others were people of average weight yet suffered with an obsession with food. Members may have used exercise and other substances to try and control their weight. Before coming to AEA, members found that they were powerless over food, and unable to stop the food obsession.
