About

Jude's

Together we can stop the escalating wellbeing crisis amongst youth.

In 2020 amidst the pandemic, Jude’s Cafe was reborn with one ambitious goal: to end the wellbeing crises amongst youth in our city. The challenge is huge yet we are optimistic. There are solutions to the crisis and with the help of partners like you we can make progress every single day, one life at a time. By working together, we believe we can change the future for young people.

Who is

Jude?

We are all a Jude.

We have all had a young friend who didn’t make it. For one reason or another they simply couldn’t see beyond the darkness. 
 
Our hearts shatter and jar when we lose someone to mental ill health. 
 
In these stories of heartbreak our heroes yearn for a different outcome. They want every young person to know there is a hope and a future.
 
Compelled by compassion our heroes seek to do more then just like and share the latest social media campaign. They want to make a tangible difference.
 
We call them “Jude”. They are the heroes in our story. 
We invite you to become a Jude in your local world. 
 
With every purchase, donation and act of volunteerism, you are helping to change the future for young people. 
 
We believe that with a Jude on every street, our city can be transformed.

Jude's Family

Through these social enterprises we can employ young people, helping them with the economic contributors of mental health.

Tailrace Community Church is committed to helping people figure it out.

Life is complex and we believe we are to be present and to walk with people through life.
