Club Staff and Community Walk for Charlotte’s Wish
In 2024, 12-year-old Charlotte O’Brien tragically lost her life due to bullying, her passing was a heartbreaking reminder of the urgent need to address youth mental health. Over the course of 7 days from November 3- 9, our staff and community supporters raised an outstanding $14,820 and collectively walked 822 kilometres to champion youth mental health.
Charlotte’s Wish is an initiative that unites participants in raising awareness and funds for suicide prevention and mental health support. This year’s campaign has already achieved remarkable milestones:
- Over $48,000 raised toward the $50,000 goal
- More than 6,700 kilometres walked by participants across four countries
- 340 walkers joining together in a worldwide effort to support youth mental health
The week began with a community walk from Revesby Workers’ Club, attended by Mayor Bilal El-Hayek, and received national attention with coverage on the Today Show and 9 News. On Friday, November 7, Charlotte’s family joined our staff team in wearing purple to honour another young life lost to bullying, Corrine Lee Cheu, and to support the Club’s Purple Friday’s initiative, which raises awareness for victims of domestic violence.
Charlotte’s Wish continues to inspire communities to have open conversations about youth mental health and suicide prevention. Revesby Workers’ Club is proud to stand alongside this movement, reinforcing our commitment to creating a safer, more supportive future for young people.
