WHY run the Travel Escape Club?
To start with…this fundraiser is FUN for ticket holders, but while it may create excitement for those who join us as ticket holders, fundamentally its aim is to generate funds for those in our community and beyond who need support in some way.
Over the past three seasons with assistance from voucher donations, major sponsors and great ticket sale results, we have successfully funded teaching resources for youth suicide prevention in schools, provided ongoing FREE mental health and well-being short courses for the community. We are committed to fund bursaries for psychology students for the next five years, and were supporting families and children facing life-threatening illnesses or difficult situations through Country Hope and Carevan, among other initiatives.
We love the fact we can help our community in these ways but we also love providing everyone who donates (buys a ticket) the chance to win fabulous prizes through being in a FUN and UNIQUE raffle. It’s a WIN WIN !!
We are currently exploring projects to address Rotary’s advocacy program “Say No to Domestic Violence” and would welcome any community or charitable organisations to approach us if they feel we could partner with them to provide funds towards their programs if it is supporting youth, women and domestic violence.
BENEFICIARIES 2024-2025
All net profits are directed towards our nominated projects each year. Most funds stay locally, but regional and international programs will be supported based on need.
Our PRIMARY BENEFICIARIES for the 2024-2025 season
We are funding psychologist vouchers to assist families and young individuals diagnosed with life-threatening illnesses.
We are assisting with funds to support the “Kids Cooking and Care Program”
LATROBE UNIVERSITY PSYCHOLOGY BURSARIES
We are supporting fifth-year psychology students to pursue their Master’s degree to address the scarcity of fully qualified psychologists in our region.
Each year funds raised through the Travel Escape Club focuses on different causes to support. In 2022-23 youth suicide prevention was our major focus supporting the Solstice Documentary into schools. In 2023-24 we supported the development and delivery of a short course in mental health first aid and resilience for volunteers working across a broad spectrum of charitable organisations.
We are continuing to offer FREE training. Please see the following POST or check the POST tab on this website
