Description of charity's activities and outcomes: 
Cars For Hope Incorporated undertook various activities during the 17-18FY, which actively raised awareness of mental health issues and promoted the prevention of mental illness. These included: providing information and help resources; maintaining a public blog and social media platforms; commissioning merchandise and other awareness materials, and; hosting awareness campaigns and community events.
General information and help resources have been provided and accessed on the Cars For Hope website, as well as at public community events. This includes information about professional Australian medical and mental illness support services.
Maintaining a public online presence via social media platforms has helped broaden the reach of Cars For Hope Incorporated’s activities, and has allowed our target audience to feel greater connected to the charity. One of the most successful online blog campaigns has been ‘Stories’, which gives an insight into the minds and lives of people with the lived experience of mental illness and helps to support people who are currently experiencing ill mental health.
Cars For Hope Incorporated has effectively used merchandise and other materials as awareness resources to help break down the stigma associated with mental illness, as well as be a tactile conversation starter for mental health and encourage open conversation.
By extension, hosting awareness campaigns and community events has allowed improved public knowledge of the charity and exposed people to the work we do. All of these events and campaigns were met with much positive support and response from the automotive community and beyond.
