The Iris Foundation is bringing fresh energy to the Central Coast this Spring with the launch of Saturdays on the Deck – a new series of community events hosted through its social enterprise, Imagine If Community Café.
Saturdays on the Deck will launch on Saturday, September 6, coinciding with a significant week of awareness and action around World Suicide Prevention Day (September 10) and R U OK? Day (September 11).
“This week is about more than just events — it’s about showing what prevention looks like in action,” Iris Foundation CEO Sue Liptrott said.
“The cafe is a space where young people are trained, resilience is built and the community is reminded that connection is a powerful protective factor.
“Everyone is welcome.”
On September 6, the launch will celebrate music, movement and young people in training, with live music from 10am-2pm featuring local talents Courtney Keil and Adam Black.
Young people will pit their new hospitality skills into action and free pilates classes will be hosted by Onshore Fitness.
All proceeds from food and beverage purchases will support Iris Foundation’s suicide prevention initiatives.
Imagine If Community Cafe is located at The Entrance Community Centre, on the corner of Battley Ave and Oakland Ave.
Every visit helps train and employ young people aged 16 to 25 while raising vital awareness and funds for local mental health and suicide prevention initiatives.
