In the lead up to National Reconciliation Week 27 May to 3rd June 2026, tomorrow we will remember National Sorry Day. National Sorry Day was an important step towards reconciliation and an acknowledgement of the trauma and heartbreak suffered by the stolen generation and their families. The impacts of the stolen generation are still felt today by our mob. While tomorrow is a solemn day it reminds us of how strong our mob are and how we will never give up fighting for a better future. Our thoughts are with our community and families tomorrow and in the coming week we will be focusing on continuing the good work we do in supporting our young fellas. We also acknowledge the support and efforts of our Ally’s that walk with us in reconciliation ❤️💛🖤

Our Cultural Camps and Mentoring programs are vital for keeping young Aboriginal boys strong, connected, and out of the youth justice system. 💛🖤❤️
When our boys are connected to Country, culture, Elders and community, they build identity, confidence and purpose. Culture teaches respect, responsibility, leadership and resilience — the skills that support strong choices and brighter futures.
Culture is prevention. Culture is healing. Culture is strength.
