Youth and Family Focus Inc.

Last year I took the three older boys to an organic gardening event in Devonport. Among other things, there was a stall offering free garden beds for food plants as part of the Veggie Patch Project. We qualified, and yesterday they turned up, set up and installed. 

Youth and Family Focus Inc. are the folks responsible. And here's their Facebook. Their mission as stated on their front page is:

"We are a non-profit organisation based on the North West Coast of Tasmania. We provide young people and families in the region with access to the support, encouragement and resources they need to make a positive contribution to their community. This is achieved through the identification of issues and the development then implementation of appropriate tools and strategies.

Our services include:

Focus on Integrated Family Support Service

Youth Focus Accommodation Service and Focus on Transitional Outreach

Community Focus Youth Alcohol and Other Drug Service

Illicit Drug Diversion Initiative

Focus on Family Drug Support Service

Needle Syringe Program

Improved Services Program

Focus on Primary Schools Partnership Program & Respectful Relationships"

(Cut and paste from their front page. Will be removed if they object).

They came prepared.

Included a compost bin...

...and two vegetable beds.

The finished product. I think they have over 100 recipients on their to-do list. This is good work. Our sincerest thanks to the workers who did the installing, Y&FF Inc., and whomever gave the o.k. for the funding for this programme.
