Construction of a functional toilet, shower and laundry facility at the Benalla Flexible Learning Centre. This facility will enable students to access showers with hot water for self care and personal hygiene. Washing machines and dryers will be available for young people to use free of charge to ensure they have clean, dry clothes at all times. Many young people 'couch surf' and do not have access to these basic human rights. This facility would enable students to be able to be clean, wear clean clothes which will assist in improvement of their self esteem and mental health.

Many students do not have access to hot water for showering - this facility will address this need.
Students will learn the skill of laundering their clothes.
Improvement in mental health through students feeling good about themselves.
Young people more likely to be accepted within the local community if they are clean and their clothes are clean.
Improved mental health outcomes for youth through feeling of self worth.

Very worthy cause. The current facilities are in great need of upgrade and so many youths in the community would benefit from this project.
