The grant will help to improve the mental health of young people in the community, by having better access to services and support networks for issues that arise from the negative impacts post Covid. Covid has brought many worries for the family, both personal and financial, thus impacting upon the mental health of young people. Working in the Coffee House will help with employment and interpersonal skills including self-confidence building, communication skills, organisational skills, and teamwork. These will all improve a young person's chances of gaining employment in a competitive seasonal environment.
More importantly, it will help them with their well-being and sense of achievement or help them to cope with rejection, which may result from a shortage of employment opportunities due to lack of experience.
