No place for bullies whatsoever

AN ANTI-BULLYING and youth suicide prevention charity will colour locals in happiness with its upcoming fund-raiser.
Not-for-profit organisation Don’t Bully is a family funded charity which acts in support of local youths.
Co-ordinated by Leisa Dewy, the organiser said the idea behind their group was awareness, prevention, education and support.
Don’t Bully will host its ‘Show Your True Colours’ – a colourful family fun day at Cranbourne Soccer Club on Sunday 22 February.
As well as colour throwing, there will be a performance by local talent Tina V, local DJ Dash, an In2Dance performance, giant games and much more.
Personally touched by the impact of suicide, Ms Dewy said she and others had run the organisations since 2009 and hoped to welcome big crowds next weekend.
“The more people the louder the Anti-Bullying and Youth Suicide Prevention message,” Ms Dewy said.
Prices vary and all proceeds will go towards the charity.
