What an unforgettable afternoon we had celebrating Outreach youth’s 20th Birthday!
Bringing together young people, families, supporters and special guests, the party was a true reflection of everything Outreach stands for — community, joy, and opportunity.
We were honoured to welcome the Mayor of Ipswich, Pat Bruce-Browne, who not only joined us for the celebrations but also wowed the crowd by taking to the stage for karaoke with a fantastic rendition of “One Love” by Bob Marley. It was a moment that perfectly captured the spirit of the evening — fun, inclusive, and full of heart.
The entertainment didn’t stop there.
Guests were treated to a fabulous performance from Ginni Tonix, whose energy, humour and talent brought sparkle and excitement to the night. Alongside this, our young people and guests took part in some brilliant karaoke performances, as well as enjoying a selection of traditional party games that brought everyone together in laughter and friendly competition.
During the afternoon, Ryan Buck, Trustee, shared a heartfelt message of thanks. He recognised Andy Fell, Founder and CEO, for his vision and leadership over the past 20 years, and gave thanks to our Isiah Jordan and our dedicated staff team, funders, supporters, fellow trustees, and, most importantly, the young people and their families who are at the centre of everything we do.
Of course, no great party is complete without great food, and we were delighted to enjoy a fantastic selection of food and drink throughout the afternoon.
The celebrations reached a special moment as we all came together to sing Happy Birthday before cutting our 20th birthday cake, accompanied by delicious cupcakes for everyone to enjoy.
It truly was a fabulous celebration — a chance to reflect on two decades of work, friendships and achievements, and to look ahead with excitement to the future.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the evening so special. Here’s to the next 20 years of Outreach!
