While much of the spotlight is on our actions on the field, I’d like to highlight something just as significant that takes place, far away from all the bright lights and media.

I’m proud to tell you each year, more than 5,000 young people are given access to education, sport and development opportunities though The Huddle.

Whether it’s offering essential study support, after-hours tutoring, school’s programs, sport and recreation workshops or English language skills classes, the award winning Huddle is changing young lives and shaping the future of multicultural communities.

These important outcomes can’t be achieved alone and we need your help. Without adequate funding we’re greatly limited in what we can do and the number of migrants and students we can reach is dramatically impacted.

That’s why we’ve developed an exciting new initiative; ‘Huddle 500’.

We’re looking for generous people to join us and make a fully tax deductible donation of $500 and help us continue running our life-changing programs.

As a way of thanking you for your generosity, I’d like to invite you to a special ‘Huddle 500’ function I’m hosting later in the year with Peter Scanlon.

I look forward to seeing you there,

Andrew Swallow
Huddle ambassador and NMFC captain
