OUR MISSION
Street Peace relentlessly pursues volatile at-risk youth, disrupting their mindsets and behaviours by building trusting relationships that address trauma, encourage hope, drive change, restore lives and bring peace back to the streets.
Christmas Shouldn’t Hurt
For many young people across the Bendigo region, Christmas is not a celebration. It’s a reminder of everything they’re missing.
In Bendigo, more young people are facing homelessness, family conflict, violence, and deep loneliness during a season that’s supposed to bring joy.
Street Peace exists to change that narrative.
Your donation ensures no young person in the Bendigo area is left out at Christmas or going into 2026.
Note
Your donations will help open up a "Nest" (A safe space for disengaged youth) in the Bendigo region.
Why We’re Asking Now? Christmas Doesn’t Wait
In the last year alone:
- Antisocial behaviour among Frankston youth rose 12.2%
- Family violence against youth increased 19.1%
- Over
7,000 young people are disengaged from school across Frankston
Without intervention, this turns into crime, addiction, and lifelong trauma.
December is our highest-need season.
Young people in crisis feel the weight of loneliness, conflict, and instability more intensely than any other time of the year.
We’re preparing Christmas support kits now.
Every donation helps us reach another young person in time.
Here’s what your gift makes possible THIS CHRISTMAS
- Connection: 69% of our youth say Street Peace feels like family.
- Healing: Despite 55% struggling with anxiety and 50% facing daily depression, 70% say they feel hopeful about their future.
- Change: 30% say Street Peace helped them leave a dangerous path and live an honest life.
- Commitment: 58% have stayed engaged for over a year.
Real POROGRESS. Real stories.
What Happens When You Mentor Instead of Punish?
This report is proof that consistency, compassion, and community still work.
Inside, you'll find hard data and raw stories - young people choosing peace over violence, purpose over chaos.
These are the kind of results monthly donors make possible. If you've ever wondered where your support goes… this is your answer.
And if you’re new to our work? This is the heartbeat of Street Peace.

YOUR DONATION IS A LIFELINE FOR AT RISK YOUTH
We’re aiming to raise
$60,000 in support by December 24th to sustain:
- Mentoring programs
- Meals and mental health support
- Expansion of The Nest to 5 days a week
- Employment pathways through SP Worx & Flo Landscapes
This isn’t about charity...
It’s about hope. It’s about community. It’s about showing up when no one else does.
Because when kids ask, “Does anyone care about me?”
Street Peace says
yes.
Support a STATEWIDE movement that goes beyond just christmas
What started in Frankston is now spreading to Gippsland. Bendigo, Darwin and opening soon in Hastings.
In 2026, we’re launching a
Training Centre to equip barbers, tradies, teachers, and everyday people with the tools to lead transformation in their own towns.
Your donation doesn’t just help one youth.
It fuels a national movement of hope, healing, and connection

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHY IS STREET PEACE RAISING $60,000 FOR CHRISTMAS?
We are raising $60,000 to support vulnerable young people across the Bendigo area during the most challenging season of the year.
This funding allows us to run Christmas outreach, provide meals and care packs, deliver crisis support, keep our safe spaces open, and ensure every young person has someone walking alongside them, not just at Christmas but well into the new year.
Where does my donation go?
Directly to keep at risk youth off the streets.
• $100 covers a week of mentoring for a young person
• $300 funds meals, support, and programming at The Nest
• $2,800 supports outreach and job pathways for multiple youth
• Will help us open up a physical location in Bendigo.
Every dollar helps provide food, mentorship, employment support, and connection to youth who often have no one else.
Is my donation tax-deductible?
Yes.
Street Peace is a registered Australian charity and Public Benevolent Institution (PBI).
All Christmas donations are fully tax-deductible.
You’ll receive a donation receipt immediately after giving.
What makes Street Peace different?
We don’t sit in offices. We go to the streets. We build trust first, then offer tools for change.
Unlike many services that require youth to come to them, we meet them where they are: skateparks, alleyways, food courts, and shopping centres.
It’s not transactional, it’s relational.
That's why it works so well.
How many young people does Street Peace support?
In 2024-25:
• We made 100+ street connections per week
• Over 210 new youth visited The Nest
• Around 45+ attend weekly, many long-term
• We’ve helped 28 youth find employment through SP Worx and partners
Behind each number is a life changed, and a story still being written.
What happens if you don’t reach your goal?
We won't be able to grow into new areas, run amazing holiday programs that bring healing to our youth or grow our street outreach, and we may need to reduce our operations.
Can I make a monthly donation?
Absolutely, and we’d love that.
Monthly donations help us plan ahead, hire more mentors, and show up consistently for young people.
It’s simple to set up, and you can cancel anytime.
Can I visit The Nest or get more involved?
Yes. We welcome community champions.
If you’re considering workplace giving, volunteering, or corporate partnership, reach out to us directly.
You’ll see the impact with your own eyes, and meet the young people whose lives you’re helping shape.
