What a night ✨🎉
On Saturday evening we held our premiere fundraising event for 2024, The Ngala Ball, which took place at The Maali nestled within the lush gardens of Perth Zoo.
The event focused on the importance of the 'first 1000 days' of a baby's life and included a panel discussion facilitated by Ngala CEO - Michelle Dillon and featuring Commissioner for Children and Young People WA - Jacqueline McGowan-Jones, The Fathering Projects Community Father of the Year - Shaun Chandran and Ngala Nurse Unit Manager - Michelle Allan.
All the funds raised from the night will enable Ngala to provide crucial free parenting support to disadvantaged families living in regional, rural or remote WA, that currently can’t access our services.
We're incredibly grateful for the support of:
💜 Our generous sponsors - platinum sponsor Minderoo Foundation silver sponsors Bladon WA: We Brand Everything and Bennett Law, bronze sponsors Margaret River Chocolate Company and KDK Family Law, as well as in-kind supporters West Coast Eagles, ZFlowers, Shannon Hamilton Artist and Margaret Quirk MLA.
💜 Our entertainment for the night - MC @FionaCornelisse VIP music Coby Grant, live auction by Tim Gossage and Amanda Dee Entertainment and her 5-piece band who kept guests on the dance floor.

Yesterday at our Kensington facility we celebrated our NAIDOC Week event. ❤️💛🖤
We were privileged to take part in a Smoking Ceremony and witness some didgeridoo playing, before hearing stories and wisdom shared by our distinguished guests, Vanessa Corunna and Dakota Baker. Prior to the event, staff watched Vanessa's suggested viewing about Noongar leader and warrior Yagan, which informed the storytelling and interactive Q&A panel.
The event concluded with delicious Bushtukka-inspired food by All Good Grub Bushtukka Catering and bites from Hoopla Espresso
There was a fantastic turnout, which included special guest Geoff Baker MLA, as well as Ngala staff, Kensington Early Learning children, and some of our clients staying at NRPS.
Thank you to our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Advisory Group for their input and guidance in planning our NAIDOC Week celebrations and to those staff who helped plan the event. It was an inspiring afternoon and enjoyed by all.
