Street Peace wrapped up 2024 with a heartwarming Christmas celebration at The Nest, bringing together over 70 young people for a night filled with joy, connection, and festive spirit.
The event, held earlier this month, was a resounding success, thanks to the dedication of Street Peace volunteers and community supporters who worked tirelessly to create a welcoming and celebratory atmosphere. From preparing meals to setting up decorations, their efforts ensured that every attendee felt a sense of love and belonging during the holiday season.
“A huge thank you to our incredible volunteers and extra helpers who made this event possible,” said Jay Shelling, Street Peace Founder. “Seeing the youth laughing, connecting, and simply enjoying themselves reminds us why we do what we do.”
The evening was made even more memorable with a special contribution from David at Celebrations Photobooth Hire, who has generously supported Street Peace for the past few years by capturing these unforgettable moments.
In the spirit of giving, each young person received a bag of lollies or chocolate, a limited-edition Street Peace beach towel, and a pair of Street Peace sunglasses—gifts that were met with excitement and gratitude.
Reflecting on the past year, Street Peace highlighted the incredible progress made in its programs and the lasting impact on the lives of young people in the Frankston and the Moe regions.
“This year has been transformational. The growth and positive change we’ve witnessed in the lives of these young people is a direct result of the generosity and support from our community,” Jay shared.
Jay extended its deepest appreciation to donors, supporters, and volunteers, emphasizing that their contributions go beyond financial aid or volunteer hours. “You are planting seeds of hope, identity, and belonging in the hearts of these young people, and the impact is truly beautiful.”
As the organisation looks ahead to 2025, it remains committed to fostering transformation and empowerment among at-risk youth.
