The arrival of a double bench and table marks the start of our 'Sensory Garden' project.

We sadly say goodbye to Hannah and Leo, who’ve been part of the YIT team for 8 years. And also farewell to Kiera, who was a valued team member for 18 months.

It was fantastic to welcome Te Rito Rodney and EaseUp to Duke House to connect with so many impactful groups.

The good folk from Silverdale Community Trust were out helping us keep Duke House looking great.

Our great friends, the Millwater Ladies Group, have done it again! They’ve dropped another box of goodies off to us.

Coming Soon .....

Thank you Incognito Marketing and Design for being awesome, we’re so very grateful for your help to tell our story so far.

Watch this space guys!

Thank you so much to the entire team at BNI North Shore Mega for selecting us as your charity for the recent Coastal Challenge.

Thank you Windowmakers for the pool table you so kindly gave to us and thank you for being an ongoing supporter of ours. We are very lucky to have you.

It was a beautiful morning for the Duke House Help Team doing their Saturday March meetup. After a 7am breakfast our amazing team set about jobs around the retreat.

We were delighted to have our friends from Genesis Youth Trust over for a visit to Duke House and share some important mahi.

Our new sheep friends are now very much part of the Duke House family. After a few weeks settling in, we’re happy to report they’re helping provide therapy for our young people and eagerly come to the fence for a chat

Thank you Grayson! We now have a fantastic new gate installed leading to the paddock by the Barn. Yet another Duke House project completed by the very skilled Grayson.

What a day........

Thank you to everyone who attended Golf Fore Life and made it such an awesome day. We are so grateful for your support, it means so much to us and the young people we help.

We’re very lucky to have a Chairperson so involved … the job description extending to 'Groundsman' and keeping our lawns at Duke House looking neat.

How cool is this!! Laptops for our young people, donated by Greg & Gary from Fuji Film, and installed by Clive, who gives so much time to us. Assisted by the multi-talented Grayson.

Thank you Millwater Ladies Group for another delivery of food and essential items. Your regular generosity and donation to our cause is amazing. These items will be used at our office in Manly and out at Duke House.

We’ve had some new additions to our Youth In Transition family. Our chickens now have sheep as their neighbours. A little unsure of their surroundings at first!

The Duke House Help Team are back at it for 2024. On the 1st Saturday of every month, starting with a breakfast at 7am and then onto jobs around the retreat.

To know we make a difference to people's lives … this note, from one of our young people on their journey with us.

Our heart is full.

We are thrilled to have recently received a grant from the wonderful ProCare Foundation to help cover Counsellor costs.
