We are proud to share the impact of our first Wuu-rri microgrant, awarded in Q4 2025. Through support from Wuu-rri Vending, we contributed to the TAMSAC Youth Leadership Program, delivered by [@tams_tamworth](https://www.instagram.com/tams_tamworth/).

Across three days in November 2025, 12 Aboriginal students from five schools across Tamworth and Manilla took part in a culturally strong leadership program focused on culture, confidence, wellbeing and future pathways.

The microgrant helped cover essential costs such as catering and workshop materials - ensuring young people felt welcomed, supported and able to participate fully.

Students, schools, Elders and mentors reported:  
🔸Increased confidence and leadership skills  
🔸Stronger cultural pride and identity  
🔸Greater awareness of future pathways

Every vending machine.  
Every purchase.  
Every partnership.

Together, they help reinvest back into Indigenous communities and support the next generation of leaders.
