The Rosies Story

Rosies Youth Mission Inc is an initiative of the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate, a Catholic religious order. In 1975 Father Tom Shortall OMI established Rosies Victoria. In response to a large number of holidaying youth, he set up a coffee shop/drop in centre in a parish house in Rosebud, Victoria. The centre became an important youth outreach in the parish, and was called ― Rosies after Rosebud. The focus of this outreach was based on the Oblates’ dedication to the marginalized.

The success of Rosies in Victoria resulted in the Oblates expanding Rosies into Queensland in 1987 supporting high school students celebrating Schoolies Week on the Gold Coast. It was during this outreach that Rosies came into contact with the homeless and was called to act.

From these humble beginnings, Rosies in Queensland has extended its missionary work to include providing friendship and support to marginalized and disadvantaged people on the streets, in the courts, youth detention, and prisons. Today, we still play a major role at Schoolies, and the Street Retreat Program for senior High School students who experience and are educated in homelessness.

Rosies has grown from an organization that was dedicated to helping school leavers once a year, to providing friendship to the marginalized in our community. Rosies is non-preaching and non-discriminatory, reaching out to people from all walks of life and various backgrounds, who are hungry for the support and

friendship that is unique to Rosies. Our solution is…to the lonely we offer

friendship and community…to those isolated we offer inclusion…to the rejected we offer acceptance.

Rosies is a very simple ministry, and yet very powerful. We are known for being: “Friends on the Street, in the courts, youth detention and prison outreach services”. Rosies reaches out to an estimated 2,500 homeless people each week through regular outreach services.

Rosies currently operates in Brisbane, Beenleigh, Caboolture, Cairns, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Logan, Ipswich, Mareeba, Toowoomba, and Wynnum Manly.

I was hungry and you fed me, Thirsty and you gave me a drink;

I was a stranger and you received me in your homes, Naked and you clothed me;

I was sick and you took care of me, In prison and you visited me.

Matthew 25:35-36


The Rosies Vision

make our hearts so human

that others may feel at home with us,

Report from the Rosies Board Chair

I am pleased to present my fourth report as the Chair of Rosies Board of

Governance. This year has seen a period of consolidation and clarity. There

have been a number of significant personnel changes in the organization:

The Board membership has remained stable for the year.

Paid staffing was reduced with the Marketing and Fundraising Manager role not being refilled after Cathy Kay’s departure in January.

At Branch coordination level, changes occurred at Brisbane – Sarah Corbett commenced in a part-time paid role) and at Beenleigh – Lisa Hingst is leading this new branch which was formerly part of Logan (Woodridge).

At the Volunteer level, we have a significant increase in the number of active volunteers (1,135 at June 2017) reflecting increased team sizes and new teams for Wynnum Manly and Annerley.

At outreach level, we commenced new locations at Wynnum and Annerley.

While these changes all impacted temporarily the support for our patrons on the street, I am

proud of the collective Rosies team that we have managed our way through these changes and

emerged on the other side an even stronger service.

At a governance level, my focus and that of the Board has been to continually strengthen the

support to our outreaches, our patrons and our now over 1,100 volunteers. We can look back on

the year with some pride and satisfaction. Highlights included:

Progress in implementation of the 2016-2018 strategic plan

Effective operation of the Board and its sub-committees

Well-organised and productive staff support team

Significant improvements in volunteer management and logistics

Enhanced internal and external communications

Increase in support both in-kind and in cash, and

A modest financial surplus for the third year in a row

Operational improvements continue to be made. Notably, Cathy Lindsay developed and

delivered a Team Leader refresher program across the branches which in addition to the annual

Coordinators forum is important in ensuring consistency of mission while recognizing the

uniqueness of each branch and their outreaches.

We are incredibly conscious of the consistency with which many of supporters give whether it be

in-kind or in cash. Nearly 70% of those who donated in 2016-17 had donated three or more years

ago. Added to that the level of support from that group went up by over 25% on average during

that time period. Being able to count on a relatively consistent level of income makes the work

of the board and staff far easier and able to focus on the mission of Rosies. In order to stay

connected we have implemented a systematic process of acknowledgement of donors. It is

amazing some of the stories that come from making these connections.

Rosies is fortunate to retain our two noteworthy Patrons. I thank Mrs Leneen Forde and Sir Peter

Cosgrove for their continued engagement and encouragement. Sir Peter joined us again on


outreach in August 2016 which provided an opportunity for volunteers and our patrons to meet

with him. Leneen generously attended the Red Rose Fund gala ball in Toowoomba as guest

speaker in June. The event was an astounding success and a real credit to and boost for the local

branch.

The Oblates are constant in their spiritual, financial and emotional support to our work. I thank

our Chaplain, Fr John David Chodagiri OMI, Board Member Fr Michael Twigg OMI, and Provincial

Fr Peter Daly. Fr John David has been a rock of spiritual support and seems to average about 15

outreaches per month on the streets. I also thank the staff and families of Iona College for the

assistance and great support they provide this year again.

My fellow Board members have supported and encouraged me at all times and have never failed

to step up to the tasks that I have asked them to undertake. Our Board discussions are forthright

and enthusiastic and I couldn’t ask for more than that. I am greatly appreciative of their

support and the quality of their experience and contribution.

As already mentioned, Rosies is very fortunate to have a strong, professional team of staff. Their

commitment and coverage of an array of tasks is simply outstanding. Andrew, Cathy, Christian

and Lee continue to deal with life's daily problems in ensuring that our branches and volunteers

have the logistical and financial support they require to help our patrons. In the branches,

coordinators - some of whom are paid part-time due to the scale of activity - work tirelessly to

deal with branch issues as they arise, and continue the growth of our mission. I thank all of

them, including Richard in the Gold Coast drop in centre, for their dedication.

Of course, all of the above would achieve little if it were not for the continued generosity of

spirit of our 1,100+ volunteers. I am continually amazed and gratified at the enthusiasm,

dedication and selflessness displayed by you all. With you on outreach are more than 1,500

teachers and school students from our student engagement program. Many, many thanks to all of

you.

The Rosies brand is in good shape. The demand for volunteering continues to grow and

unfortunately we cannot satisfy all that need. Many businesses asked to partner with Rosies to

establish social outreach programs for their staff. We continue to attract unsolicited donations

from a wide variety of individuals, businesses, clubs and foundations. All of us have an important

role to play to protect and strengthen the Rosies brand so that we can continue our work with

our friends on the street.

May you travel with the Lord Jesus in your heart, and the example of St Eugene de Mazenod and

St Mary McKillop in your mind.

John Scoble

Rosies Board Chair


General Manager’s Report

Over 260 volunteers, i.e. about 22% have served with Rosies for five years or more. Clearly that is the

strength of Rosies vibrant culture. During 2017 we conducted service recognition ceremonies in all

branches which has been a wonderful opportunity for volunteers to gather particularly as many don’t

get to meet as they are on different teams.

The goodness of our volunteers mixed with the humility of our patrons continues to provide the unique

community that is Rosies. I present this report aware not only of the enormous value of our volunteers’

efforts but also in the inherent dignity of those we encounter on the street and from who we experience

the simple joys of friendship.

Now for some details about our activity over the last year.

Our mission The scope of mission (street vans, courthouse, Youth Detention and Women’s Correctional Centres’

visitation, drop-in centre) did not change during the year however there was an increase in the number

of weekly outreaches:

Wynnum Manly Branch was consolidated with an additional outreach on Monday mornings

Atherton outreach was trialed but the patronage did not warrant continuation

Annerley morning outreach has proved effective while we are seeking a new location for our Tuesday night teams in South Brisbane

Access to suitable outreach locations is becoming more challenging evidenced during the year by the

need to secure new locations in Brisbane, Cairns, and the Gold Coast. Our Branch Coordinators and

other volunteers have given substantial additional time and expertise to resolve these issues. We

continue to be grateful for the positive efforts of the respective local governments in facilitating our

ongoing services.

We continue to implement the strategic plan for outreach expansion including development including

additional court outreaches in Caboolture and Mareeba.

Our volunteers

The essence of our mission is the encounter between our volunteers and our patrons. I join with the

Chair in expressing great admiration and appreciation to all our 1,100+ volunteers. Their dedication

and joyful spirit is the secret to our sustainability. Their infectious enthusiasm combined with our

prominent brand and positioning in public spaces, draws others to join us, resulting in demographic

diversity as shown in the tables below.

Safety

No Workers Compensation or Volunteer Insurance claims were recorded in the year. The number of

recorded NOW events (incidents where the team has abandoned the outreach due to safety concerns)

increased again in 2016-17. A concerted effort was made in Team leader training and Induction training

to highlight the value of the NOW process for safety due to the increase in NOW events.

Training

Last year I foreshadowed an emphasis on Team Leader refresher training. Cathy Lindsay has developed

a rolling program so that emerging issues can be incorporated and focus on different facets given. with

two sessions delivered across the branches in August/September 2016 and again in April/May 2017.

Attendance rates are over 60% on average.

Coordinators

Our Coordinators are the pillars of Rosies. The commitment and passion they display is extraordinary.

We held a very productive and enjoyable Coordinators’ forum in February at the State Support office.

Given changes to staffing and Coordinators this was particularly useful in revisiting the mission and key

operating principles of Rosies as well as introducing new technologies (Ipad reports) to streamline

reporting. Workplace, health and safety matters also provoked much discussion, recognizing the

inherent risks of outreaching on the street.

Team Leaders

I also acknowledge our more than 100 Team Leaders who ensure that as friends ‘we always turn up’.

They play an integral role in as ‘culture holders and makers’. Team Leader refresher training proved

valuable in affirming their role.

Partners on the street

We have many wonderful not-for-profit partners who provide complementary outreach services to our

mission. Vital Connection and Street Doctors, Muslim communities in Logan and Cairns, Rapid Relief

Team in Toowoomba just to name a few. This cooperation is a wonderful contribution to modeling a

more inclusive and neighbourly society.

Specialist volunteer services

During the year we have been fortunate to engage people both at Branch level and in State Office to

provide specialist services on a pro-bono basis. These services cover procurement, media and

communications, database management, trades etc. I won’t mention individual names in order not to

miss anyone but they know who they are.

Champion volunteers

Some volunteers give enormously of their time and again I wish to acknowledge them generally because

they number in the dozens. These volunteers give more than a day per week and are integral to our

smooth running.

Schools

Our partnership with 51 schools, engaging 1860 students and teachers across eight branches is a

wonderfully beneficiary arrangement for all involved.

Our staff

The State Support office staff have developed into a tight-knit and productive unit with wonderful

support from regular office and logistics volunteers. Thanks to Cathy Kay who left us in January after

developing solid processes for our marketing and communication activities.

Donors

Firstly, I express our deep gratitude to all donors for their generosity. It is obvious from the letters

and notes accompanying many donations that their giving is a real sacrifice and we are diligent in

using their donations with purpose and efficiency. A list of donors of $5,000 or more is provided

in Appendix 1.

We are unable to provide comprehensive information on the many in-kind donations but

acknowledge the enormous contribution they make to the lives of our patrons. In-kind donors

include many schools, small businesses, community organizations and individuals.

I acknowledge particularly the support of Biopak who continue to supply us with our cup

requirements with monthly deliveries to Wynnum. This type of support not only saves cash outlays


but significantly reduces our administrative and logistical effort.

Donors are regularly acknowledged in our quarterly newsletters, web-site and social media.

Major Events

Our Coordinators have been active during the year in promoting and attending fundraising events

held by supporting organizations and individuals. Two major Charity of Choice events should be

noted:

- LJ Hooker Stakes Day, Gold Coast - Red Rose Fund Gala Ball, Toowoomba

Grants

We appreciate the support of:

1. Wynnum Manly Leagues Club $ 2,650 2. Queensland Community Foundation $30,000 3. RSL Queensland – Youth Grants $ 5,000 4. Suncorp Brighter Futures $ 7,700 5. Brisbane City Council $ 2,000 6. ATHOC Foundation $20,000

Other stakeholders It is also important to acknowledge other stakeholders who are essential to the goodwill Rosies

has in the community and thus our sustainability. These include:

Schools in the Student Engagement Program

Catholic Archdiocese of Brisbane

Catholic Diocese of Cairns

Catholic Diocese of Toowoomba

Queensland Police Service

Local governments in the various regions

The Catholic Leader

Hot Tomato, Gold Coast

Gold Coast Bulletin

Cairns Bulletin

Toowoomba Chronicle

Our resources

Vans

Rosies operates a fleet of 18 vans with servicing organized on a local basis. The low travel rates

in some outreaches, requires regular checking and charging of batteries.

ICT

Iona College IT department provides a full support service for our office needs which is a significant

contribution and very convenient being located on the same premises. Good progress has been

made to update our office applications.


Storage

Iona College also provides three storage sheds which enables us to store items for extended periods

of time, which is incredibly valuable due to the periodic nature of in-kind donations.

You can see that Rosies connects in many different ways across Queensland. These connections

are personal and reflect the essence of who we are. It becomes clearer to me each day that Rosies

is not so much a human service as a dynamic of human encounters.

Cost Analysis

We are very proud to advise that we continue to monitor our wages and keep overheads at a low

percentage of the combined Income received. Our volunteers, donors and benefactors can be

assured that we are utilising monies received, volunteer time, and donations in kind, to the very

best advantage.

For example, an estimated cost analysis for 2017:

Total Receipts Received $930,934

Estimate of Donations in Kind $1,500,000 (conservative estimate)

Estimate of 1200 Volunteers

at $25 p/hr – cost benefit $2,400,000

Total $4,830,934 100%

Wages Paid (office and branch) $435,166 9%

Operating expenses including wages $754,413 15.6%

We continue to have Outreaches in the following centres: Gold Coast (Surfers Paradise, Southport

including Drop-In Centre and Courthouse, Nerang, Numinbah Prison), Brisbane (CBD, Annerley,

Youth Detention Centre), Cairns, Mareeba, Logan, Beenleigh, Caloundra, Ipswich, Toowoomba,

Caboolture and Wynnum Manly. There is a possibility that we will further expand over the next 12

months.


Solvency Declaration and Liquidity Position

I confirm that Rosies Youth Mission Incorporated remains in a solid cash position and as Treasurer I am of the opinion that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Association will be able to pay its debts as and when they become due and payable. Current Ratio/Working Capital Ratio (Current Assets/Current Liabilities) 2017 4.54:1 (2016 2.49:1) – shows the ability to satisfy contingencies and uncertainties.

Conclusion Andrew O’Brien, our General Manager, and Lee Mckasill (Bookkeeper), Cath Lindsay (Volunteer Coordinator), Christian Pradayrol (Communication/Media), and all office volunteers deserve our thanks for the work that they do behind the scenes to support the Board, the Volunteers, our Patrons and Donors. Thank you! The Board, chaired by John Scoble, has continued to demonstrate leadership skills and dedication in making tough decisions where required and we thank John particularly for his leadership in this. Fr John David, our Chaplain, has demonstrated a commitment to Rosies that has been a true inspiration to us all and we thank you Fr John for your graced presence. In conclusion a big shout out to our Volunteers who have once again shown dedication and commitment in serving our Mission. May we all receive many graces and blessings, as we move toward the Christmas season, celebrating the Christ child, as well as the gifts we share with family and friends remembering our patrons and others who will not have the advantages we have this Christmas.
