Dunkley siblings cook up a storm

AFL Footy is back and like all fans across Australia, we are very excited!

National sporting competitions across the world have been put on holding during the COVID-19 crisis and for the Dunkley siblings this has meant more time spent together at home in Gippsland. AFL Players, Josh (Western Bulldogs FC) and Kyle (Melbourne FC) and Suncorp Super Netball player, Lara (Queensland Firebirds) were quick to put their hand up to support Ladder during their down time.

Ladder staff in the nearby Latrobe Valley have been working hard to ensure program participants stay engaged throughout this time. Josh, Kyle and Lara have been great supporters of the program, coming together to record a cooking session exclusively for local young people. This session complimented our program content to develop living skills and gave the young people a few new faces to look at!

Watch the Dunkley's show off their cooking skills below.
