Dolly Everett was the victim of bullying and ended her young life at just 14 years of age. Dolly’s Dream has been established by her family and friends in her memory.
Dolly’s Dream will work to create positive change and help prevent the lives of other children being lost, and act as a voice for those who cannot speak for themselves.
Dolly’s Dream will:
• Raise awareness in communities, children and parents about the serious issue of bullying and its devastating effects
• Work to prevent and address bullying issues in the community
• Deliver information on ways to mitigate bullying, including cyber bullying, within school communities and to those in need
• Change cultures in the community to prevent bullying, and
• Support victims of bullying
To safeguard the future of Dolly’s Dream and to maximise its impact, Tick and Kate have partnered with the Alannah & Madeline Foundation (ABN 96 514 115 810). The assistance of this partnership will allow Tick and Kate to progress their mission of honouring their daughter’s memory through Dolly’s Dream.
Money raised for Dolly’s Dream will go to programs and services to achieve Dolly’s Dream’s purpose.
To do this, funding expenditure will be governed by an Advisory Board which will include Kate and Tick Everett. This Advisory Board will make recommendations on how to best spend funds and ensure Dolly’s Dream’s programs and services have the greatest impact.
