One Dart Forward for Mental Health 2025

Play Together, Stand Together, Stronger Together

My name is Melanie Young and I’m running my Annual Dart Competition called One Dart Forward for Mental Health at the Harvey Bulls Football Club on Saturday 2nd August 2025. The event is to raise awareness for the Black Dog Institute of Australia.

Last year was the second year I have held the event and since 2023 we have raised over $10,000!!

I’m not stopping at just a dart comp I wanna raise as much awareness and funds as I can and get anyone and everyone involved because at one time or another in all our lives you will know someone struggling with Mental Health Issues, maybe someone close to you or even yourself. You may have even felt the pain of losing a loved one to Suicide. 

One Dart Forward is a way of getting people to talk about mental health and to try get rid of the stigma surrounding it. It’s raising awareness and showing people that there is help out there available to everyone because mental illness doesn’t discriminate. 

That’s why I’m hosting my very own event, to raise funds for the Black Dog Institute. Every dollar raised will support crucial mental health research and support services that help Australians impacted by mental illness and suicide.

Please donate now and Help me create a meaningful moment for mental health, all for a great cause.

Thank you

Mel 🩵💜.

So for people who don’t know me, My name is Mel and I’m the creator of One Dart Forward for Mental Health. This is my 3rd year running the event and in the 1st 2 years we raised over $10,107. The day is to raise awareness for suicide and mental health and to let people know the Black Dog Institute of Australia is out there and available to help with all different resources available.
