Worn Again fashion parade

The Upcycled Fashion Parade for young people is back for 2025!

If you would like to hold a fundraising stall at this event, we would love to have you! Please let me know by early next month if you are keen. 

This year we will have the Mayor launching the new Youth Plan, there will be bands, face painting, a clothing swap, and other activities for young people and their friends and family.

When: Sunday 21 September from 11am to 1pm 

Where: Mechanics Lane (out the front of the Castlemaine Library)

We'd love to have people register and make an outfit to share at the event. They will get a $20 voucher to attend.

here is an update with a contact email address - Our email is:   LGBTIQA+@castlemainehealth.org.au 

Dhelkaya Health are planning a new group for gender diverse, transgender and non-binary children of primary school age with their parents/carers.

The group called ‘Planet GAGA’ will focus on positive mental health with Gender Affirming Games and Activities, creating safe, affirming spaces for TGDNB children and their families. The program also provides peer support, resources and education for parents and carers.

The programme will be a collaboration between Dhelkaya Health, Loddon Children’s Health and Wellbeing Locals and Mount Alexander Shire Council.

We are starting with a survey to families to collect interest for the group.

Can you please help us get the survey link below to families at your school.
