Project 365 Wangaratta 'U Can Cry'

21/12/2025

2025 gave us so much to be proud of.

🎶 3,000+ people at Avian Park for Bringing Light to the Dark.
🕺 A Gala Ball that raised more than $72k.
📚 Another full round of Mental Health First Aid Scholarships for our community.

In 2026 we will see a dedicated Mental Health Round in the Ovens and Murray AFL League, and we cannot wait to bring this message to even more people. 🏉

Thank you to everyone who has supported us, volunteered with us and believed in us. We couldn't do any of this without you. 💙

Closing out a big year with the band. 💙

Huge thanks to Old Faithfulls Brew Bar for having us, and to this incredible crew for everything you have poured into Project 365 this year.

The conversations, the care, the time and the belief all matter more than you know.

Here’s to connection, community, and taking this energy with us into what’s next.

The festive season can be an exciting time of year, but it can also be really hard for people who are feeling alone, overwhelmed or disconnected.

If you know someone who might find the holidays tough, remember to check in with them. Let them know you are there. It may be the conversation they have been waiting for. 💬

From Pete and the whole Project 365 team, we wish you a very Merry Christmas. 🎄💙

Our two-day The Mental Health Coach course has wrapped, and our participants are walking away more informed, more confident, and more capable of supporting the people around them.

These skills might fly under the radar but their impact ripples out into families, workplaces, teams, and neighbourhoods. Every person who shows up for this training helps make our community a little safer, a little kinder, and a lot more aware.

And to our sponsors… thank you.
Your support is what makes opportunities like this accessible. You’re helping build a community where more people know how to look out for each other, and that matters.💙

That first conversation can change everything. 💬

At Project 365, we’re passionate about creating spaces where real conversations about mental health can happen - in workplaces, at home, and across our community.
Because when we talk, we remind each other we’re not alone.

It’s ok not to be ok.
And it’s always ok to talk about it. 💙

Share this with someone who might need to hear it today.

Music connects us. 🎶
It sparks conversation, lifts spirits, and brings our community together.

At Project 365, music is more than a soundtrack. It’s a catalyst for connection - opening doors for honest conversations, reminding us to check in with each other, and helping to break down the stigma around mental health.

Here are some beautiful moments from Bringing Light To The Dark earlier this year. 💙

💙 A Heartfelt Thank You 💙

We are so incredibly touched by this beautiful gesture from three inspiring Year Two students at Cathedral College Wangaratta — Isabella, Eliana and Harriet.

These amazing young girls approached their teachers wanting to raise funds for a local charity that supports mental health and wellbeing. After discussions with Head of Junior School, Leigh Symons, and other staff, they decided to support Project 365 — and we couldn’t be more honoured.

With an initial goal of $100, the girls’ enthusiasm and kindness shone brightly, raising over $500 to help promote positive mental health in the community. 🌟

From all of us at Project 365, thank you Isabella, Eliana and Harriet — your compassion and leadership remind us that no act of kindness is ever too small to make a big difference. 💙

We are delighted to share a heart-warming initiative led by three of our Year Two students – Isabella, Eliana and Harriet. Demonstrating compassion well beyond their years, the girls approached staff with a desire to raise money for a charitable organisation and make a difference in the community. After thoughtful conversations and consideration, they chose to support Project 365, a local mental health initiative focused on promoting wellbeing, reducing stigma, and supporting youth and the broader community.

With an ambitious goal of raising $100, the girls exceeded all expectations, raising over $500.

Their efforts reflect our values of Discover, Belong and Achieve.

Well done, girls – you are leading by example!
