With the increasing need due to COVID and its impacts on our community such as higher rates of unemployment leading to a rise in those suffering family violence, drug, alcohol, mental health and homelessness issues, the need for our support services during this period has never been greater. TaskForce is very fortunate to have an amazing, hard working Board who quickly approved a special COVID brokerage fund to enable us to assist some of our more marginalised clients during this difficult time. The brokerage fund has now assisted over 40 of our most vulnerable clients and families with items such as food, nappies, white goods, furniture, payment of bills, accommodation and even some arts and crafts to help our clients pass the time during the restrictions.
This week is 'Trans Awareness Week', this is a time to celebrate our wonderful trans and gender diverse community. It's also the perfect, ideal time to educate ourselves and those around us about gender diversity, and the importance of being a trans ally. This week is all about coming together and celebrating our trans mates, siblings, colleagues, and friends – no matter if you're starting to learn about what gender diversity means, or if you're a seasoned ally.
