“We know that participating more fully in community activities often strengthens and helps protect young people from alcohol and drug harms,” says the Alcohol and Drug Foundation’s Victorian Manager Eamonn O’Toole.
Frankston Mornington Peninsula LDAT recognises that there are many barriers to participating fully in community sport and recreational activities. These include financial barriers.
The LDAT’s ‘ACTIVATE’ program provides funds to pay club fees, equipment and transportation costs, enabling more young people to participate in local sport and recreation.
Frankston Mornington Peninsula LDAT is committed to a whole-of-community approach and is working with a range of local stakeholders including sporting and recreational clubs, businesses and local service providers including the Brotherhood of St Laurence.
