INXS Advocates for Lifeline
As each year passes the world seems to become more and more hectic, bringing with it heightened stress levels and increasing pressures within our everyday lives.
It doesn't matter who you are or what your circumstance, at some stage in life everyone is faced with difficult times. It doesn't matter how large or small your support group of friends and family, sometimes we can be surrounded by people but still feel alone. And sometimes it's hard to talk to those close to us.
Lifeline Australia offers a 24-hour telephone help line that assists people who may be feeling simply just a little overwhelmed, lonely, depressed, in need of counselling, or desperate.
Circumstances in our life can occasionally take their toll and test our ability to cope. Sometimes we feel we cannot cope alone and need to reach out for help and guidance. Talking to someone who is at an arm's length from the situation can be a huge relief.
Lifeline Australia offers help around the clock 24-7 where you can always talk to someone about your troubles.
I believe Lifeline is an extremely important organisation doing great work in our community and they need our support - so they can support us.

Disney's Sally Makes a Charity 'Pit Stop' in Parramatta
The real "Sally Carrera" Porsche 911 from Disney's animated movie "Cars" made a pit stop on her exclusive world tour at Porsche Centre Parramatta on Tuesday, 27 November to help raise money for Parramatta Mission.
Santa and his elves entertained the kids with balloon animals and face painting while helping to raise over $600 and collect many gifts donated by generous patrons to the event who were asked to bring either a wrapped gift to go to the disadvantaged teens that are helped by Parramatta Mission, or donate $15 in exchange an instant photo with Sally Carrera and Santa.
Parramatta Eel's Jared Haynes and Miss World Australia contestant Sarah Durazza (herself an ambassador of the Parramatta Mission) were on hand to sign autographs and strike a pose with Sally, Santa and the kids. While Parramatta Mission was on hand to receive and receipt 100% of the donations, kids of all ages enjoyed sweets and treats.
As a proud member of the Parramatta community, Porsche Centre Parramatta—a Trivett Group business, leveraged this 'once in a lifetime' visit from "Sally" to help benefit Parramatta Mission and the people in crisis that they help in the local community.
