THE LONG WAY FORWARD

The Long Way Forward — A Lasting Impact

The Long Way Forward brought people together on a journey from Newcastle to the Gold Coast, honouring those lost to suicide and raising awareness of mental health and suicide prevention. Along the way, we shared stories, opened conversations and reinforced the importance of connection, support and hope.

The initiative introduced Never Fold Collective to new communities and helped us build relationships with individuals, businesses and community organisations. These connections have broadened our reach and created opportunities to work together in supporting our youth, young adults and wider community.

The support we received strengthened Never Fold Collective’s presence in the community and helped more people understand who we are, what we do and why our work matters. The encouragement, generosity and conversations along the journey continue to inspire the programs, supports and initiatives we deliver.

The Long Way Forward has now concluded, but its impact continues. To everyone who supported us, shared our story or joined us along the way- thank you. You helped turn this journey into something lasting.
