Heaps Decent is an Australian organisation empowering young people through skills building, cultural access and creativity.
Working with underrepresented and marginalised youth, our participatory program of music and visual media activities provides a pathway to discovery, personal growth and agency through self-expression.We are honoured to receive the City of Sydney Betty Makin Youth Service Award for 2024.
This award recognises an outstanding community contribution to the city. Betty Makin was a local legend who lived her life in the Redfern area. Her tireless work in the community improved the lives of Redfern and Waterloo residents, including local youth.
Heaps Decent is proud to be part of the long history of community building and spirit in our local area.
