Local Gyms who support a healthy body

Local Gyms who support a healthy body... and heart!

Six local gym and pilate centres supported the Taldumande 2011 Christmas Tree Appeal, during the first 2 weeks of December.  In each gym a small Xmas tree was erected with donation envelopes and decorations attached.  Members were encouraged to donate towards an individual young person’s Christmas present and Christmas activity program via one of the envelopes.  Over $1,000 was raised.  Thank you to all gym owners, staff and members who kindly supported the campaign to make the festive season special for our young people.

Participants include:  Neutral Bay’s Contours, Vision Person Training and Leeon and Shaw Pilates, Mosman Fitness First and Crows Nest’s Curves and Heart and Soul Health Club.

Community Christmas Spirit

Community Christmas spirit alive at Taldumande…thank you!

It gives us great joy to be able to announce that Christmas for the young people at Taldumande, was a festive and exciting one thanks to the generous spirit of our local community.

As a result of our Christmas drive, we received a most generous range of gifts and cash which enabled us to provide a wonderful Christmas lunch, complete with all the trimmings and gifts.   We were also able provide our young people with a holiday season that was full of activity and fun. 

Our deepest appreciation goes to:

Successful AGM for Taldumande

This year's AGM was held  at our new office in Yeo St on Thursday 27th October.  Over 20 guests, staff and board members attended.  Attendees relaxed into the evening with refreshments and a light supper as Chairman, Michael Morton-Evans delivered an informative speech about the case for Early Intervention as the only way to try and prevent youth homelessness in the community.  A brief summary about Taldumande's performance and highlights for the past year were also presented.  Thank you to all those who came and supported the evening.

United Way & AMP "Backyard Blitz"

UNITED WAY CORPORATE VOLUNTEERING PROGRAM BRINGS AMP STAFF TO OUR REFUGE IN AUGUST 

Thirty six volunteers from AMP swapped a normal day at the office with a day of hard manual work at our Refuge.  Under the guidance of three United Way Project Managers, the volunteers were sent off painting skirting boards, windows and architraves in bedrooms and offices, washing walls and decks and gardening.  They even replaced one very tired looking outdoor umbrella with a fabulous new one.  Our Refuge is one big shared old house that sees a lot of people traffic.  Maintenance and general upkeep is never ending.  We are very grateful to our volunteers for working so hard to bring the shine back to this important 'home' for our homeless young people.  On behalf of everyone at Taldumande and the young people in our care, thank you United Way and AMP Corporate volunteers.
