Over five years, 201 young people volunteered for the Live4Life Crew to act as Mental Health Ambassadors in the Moira community.
The Live4Life Moira Crews 2020-25 were made up of students from each of the participating secondary schools. The Crews coordinated numerous mental health promotion activities throughout the years of implementation.
