It’s a tragic fact that many young Australians die from suicide every week. Youth Focus is a unique not-for-profit organisation working hard to change that by offering a range of free mental health services to support vulnerable young people suffering from depression. Read more about the great work they’re doing in our community by visiting the Youth Focus website.

 

Youth Focus was first introduced to Barb by a friend who participated in the Ride for Youth. Their cause instantly struck a chord, “What better way to make a difference than helping people through difficult times,” says Barb.

Inspired by Gandhi’s famous quote “Be the change you want to see in the world” Barb and ENJO have continually supported Youth Focus since 2008, with the help of ENJO Consultants, HQ staff and customers participating in the Virtual Ride, Ride for Youth, raffles and staff fundraising events.

Getting casual for a cause
Staff at ENJO HQ will be encouraged to dress-down and donate a gold coin every Friday for the duration of the campaign.

Morning teas and daring challenges
