Charity Members and Our Invited Guests formed up to join our March Events lineup  
Sirens of Silence Charity, Jake Edwards from Outside The Locker Room and the team at 
PEAK 1 Boxing Club offered some events with a difference.

We have had a massive start to ‘Marching Into Mental Health 2019’ with the very generous donations of many and merchandise sales raising in excess of $700 for Sirens of Silence Charity.

We have had a huge recruiting drive engaging new memberships from across our WA Emergency Services and we were able to offer a Mental Health Information Session at Gosnells Emergency Operations Centre which saw former AFL Player Jake Edwards now Founder/CEO of Outside The Locker Room provide strategies and take away messages for our attending members to check in with themselves, each other and the importance of managing your own mental health.

We have been fostering some new charity relationships with Ride Alongside and Blue Guardians so watch this space for future charity activities and events.
​
We have also been kicking goals and raising awareness with Department of Fire and Emergency Services WA ​B Shift from Belmont Fire Station with attendance at the Tackling Suicide Game - Lathlain Park and we joined the fight alongside Coaches Mick & Claire Hale from PEAK 1 Boxing Club with Guest Coach Jake Edwards challenging body and mind in the Sirens of Silence Charity BattleBags supported by our good friends from Shape Up at Barbertown,
Kombi Brew and Australian Institute of Fitness - Perth 

 ​Thank you for becoming a part of the community that helps us ​save those who save you.

Saturday 10 November 2018 at Cockburn Ice Arena saw All Veterans Events put another sensational event onto the ice for the
​2018 Soldiers + Sirens Shield
Emergency Services ​v Australian Defence Force

The Emergency Services All-Stars took the win, the shield and the bragging rights claiming back to back victories from a game played with tremendous spirit, showcasing some amazing local talent across both teams.

All in attendance paid their respects in memory of those who died or suffered in all wars and armed conflicts with Sunday, 11 November 2018 marking the 100th anniversary of the Armistice which ended the
​First World War (1914–18).

Sirens of Silence Charity Golf Day 21 September 2018 in Broome proved to be yet another successful locally supported event, backed by our amazing Sponsors, Supporters and all those 'great' golfers, 'keen' golfers, 'novice' golfers and those not so good at golf.

The success of the day would not have been possible without the generosity of all involved, resulting in an astonishing $7,000 raised through sponsorship, raffles and fundraising.

Thank you to all involved, those who donated goods for prizes or become valued sponsors for the day and became 'a part of the community that helps us save those who save you'​.

The Winner of the Broome Cycles 'Contend Giant Bicycle' was number 61 - Billy Minns!!
Congratulations Billy..​
