Lock this in. You won’t want to miss it.💙🏉

The Ovens & Murray Football Netball League has partnered with Project 365
to launch their first ever Mental Health Round!

📅 June 27–28 2026

Led by the Project 365 team, Steve Manning, Rachael Devine, Emma Merlo, Ben Thomas and Pete Rourke, this partnership is about bringing the whole community together around something that matters.

A full weekend focused on:
🔹Showing up.
🔹Checking in.
🔹And supporting each other, on and off the field.

Because the reality is… more people are struggling than we realise. And most of the time, you wouldn’t even know it.

Across the weekend, including the Wangaratta derby and Walk & Talk, we’ll be selling Project 365 beanies, with funds going towards mental health first aid scholarships across clubs.

But for now… save the date 👊💙

Safe to say… this day didn’t exactly start the way Pete planned.

He was a bit rattled. Could’ve easily called it and gone home. But he didn’t. He showed up anyway.

And that’s kind of the point.

Because mental health doesn’t wait until you’ve got your head straight or your day sorted. It shows up right in the middle of real life… when things go sideways.

And still, people show up. To work, to things they said they’d be at, to school pick up, to life. Sometimes carrying more than anyone else can see.

So if your day’s a bit off today… and you’re showing up anyway, we see you.

Drop a 💙 if you’ve ever had one of those days and showed up anyway… let’s remind each other we’re not alone.

Goulburn-Murray Water took time out of their day for a messaged that matters.

On Wednesday 25th March, Project 365 founder and mental health advocate Peter Rourke — who many of us know simply as Pete — presented a powerful Project 365 session at Quality Hotel Wangaratta Gateway for Goulburn Murray Water.

After reaching out to bring Pete in, their team created space for an honest, grounded conversation around mental health in the workplace.

Project 365 started as a simple idea in 2021. Now it’s helping teams across the region better understand, support and look out for each other.

Big thanks to Goulburn Murray Water for backing the conversation and being great to work with.

If you’ve got a team, this is the kind of session that sticks.

We’ve been bowled over. 😜

Four Thursdays. Dozens of legends. One very good cause.

Barefoot Bowls at Wangaratta Bowls Club brought the community together and raised an amazing $1,407.10 for Project 365. 💛

From friendly banter to serious (and we mean serious) competition, it was four weeks of laughs, connection, and a whole lot of good.

Same time next year?

Showing up can mean everything to someone.

Living and working in the North East, you become part of something bigger. It’s the way people in small towns support each other. 💛

There are a few local opportunities to do exactly that:

🚶‍♀️ Beechworth to Bridge
Saturday 28th to Sunday 29th March
Walk, remember and connect.

☕ Wangaratta Death Cafe
Monday 20th April
An open space to talk about death and dying at Where is My Coffee .

Let’s show up for each other this month!

What a night on the green! 💚

The Wangaratta Bowls Club recently hosted the Barefoot Bowls Charity Challenge, bringing together local businesses, community groups and mates for a bit of friendly competition, a BBQ and a drink or two.

Teams of three hit the green and, even better, each team got to nominate which of the four local organisations they wanted to support, including 365. How good is that?

Community spirit, a few laughs and real dollars going back into local causes. We’re so grateful to be part of it. 💛

24/02/2026

More than 20 locals were lucky enough to participate in our Mental Health Scholarship program 💙

Wangaratta and North East Victoria business leaders spent two days learning practical ways to recognise mental health warning signs and have better conversations at work.

Our Mental Health Scholarships will be back in the new year.
👉 Follow us to stay up to date with the next intake!

We're so grateful for the support of local businesses who believe in what we do and help us share the message further. 💙

A big thank you to our good friends, Propel Digital for supporting Project 365 Wangaratta 'U Can Cry' and helping us strengthen our digital presence.

Partnerships like this help us share our message, connect with more people, and keep the conversation around mental health moving forward.

Next Thursday plans? Sorted. 💙

The Charity Bowls Challenge kicks off Thursday 19 February at 6.15pm (registrations from 5.45pm) and runs across four relaxed Thursday nights.

Teams of three, $10 per player each week, BBQ included, with two games per night. Best of all, your team can choose which of the four local organisations you’d like to support.

Tag the mates you've been meaning catch up with and lock in a good night out that gives back.

Community leaders in aren’t just leaders in their field, they lead in so many ways. Every day, they’re in a position to positively impact someone’s mental health, especially when they have the right tools and understanding. That’s why the Mental Health First Aid Scholarship matters.

Strong local leaders don’t just guide teams at work, they support people through life’s tougher moments too.💙

At Project 365, we are encouraging Wangaratta leaders to stay informed, keep learning, and create space for open conversations, so our community is better prepared to face mental health challenges as part of everyday work and life.

Because hard conversations save lives.

✨ Keep an eye out for our 2026 Mental Health First Aid course and scholarship opportunities, coming soon: https://loom.ly/RVxd0Bk

One thing we learnt at Mental Health First Aid training is that a conversation does not need to end when someone says they are not ready to seek help.

A simple question like “Is there a reason why?” can open the door a little wider.
It can help you understand what they are feeling, what might be holding them back, and whether there are fears or misconceptions you can gently talk through together.

Sometimes support looks like listening without judgement and keeping the conversation going.
Small moments like this can make a big difference. 💙
